Story: All Vista versions to ship on single disk

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
