Point truly missed. Both use a...

Nothing at all to do with Microsoft only having to manufacture one DVD for all versions then. No it is all to give a better "customer experience" - honest!
If they are delivering everything on one DVD, why not just have one version?
Sell it for $99 (full version, $50-60 for an upgrade), and the user can decide which extras they want to install, no worrying about which version they should buy. No getting angry because they want to buy a PC with Ultimate Edition, but can only buy it with Home Basic (and then pay an additional fee for Ultimate)...
It would make them more competitive, wouldn't confuse the poor user and might actually give them some good PR
About bloody time.
I hate it when I go to a home user and they dont have disks, the only install media i have is professional. Doing it this way means i can just have the one disk and i am able to install everywhere i want!!
I still think that making the OS cost about 100 quid will mean they will get A LOT more sales.
I wont be buying Vista for 200 or 300 quid.
if it is 100 quid then id go for it!!
The spokesperson also denied that Windows Anytime Upgrade would prove an attractive target for hackers, saying Vista was "the most secure version of Windows yet".
The same was said about 95, 98, 98SE,ME,2000, and XP. Maybe the 7th time is the charm.

well, they were all the most secure versions of windoze in their time... but it's starting to seem like no matter how many times Micro$oft tries, they'll never come out with a good stable and secure operating system
