mr. howe, <<Offering an alternate licensing plan should not have been viewed as a negative. Simple marketing will straighten this out and I look forward to the improved press.>> you got it all wrong bud :). msft is not offerring an alternative program but they are spinning this thing and saying that "it just has not been explained well". they are sending out educational literature about their stupid pricing strategy. if it is that complicated it should not be offerred. all the customers know is that they are going to be paying more under this plan than before. this is because msft is forcing new releases (i.e., upgrades and/or patches) down their throat. in essence they are holding their own customers hostage (i.e., sort of like extortion if you know what i mean). how arrogant are these jerks up there. msft's demise is in the works and it is because of their own doing. the doj or their "so called" competition is a side show at this point. msft is a GREEDY company and thats a character flaw. rocky.
