Disclaimer: I am a proud Mac user, but I work with Windows XP at the office.

It seems as though Vista is getting increasingly restrictive to the "low-end" users, and more complicated overall in terms of choice versus price point. Why should I have to get power locks and power windows just because I want air conditioning and automatic transmission? Why not offer a standard package with all features for home use, a family pack of the same version, and a business upgrade package that only larger networks would need?

Well, sticking to the auto analogy, back in the '80s, Honda offered their Accord (iirc) in a total of six (6), that's right, six configurations.

GM's Buick division offered a model available in over 30,000 configurations.

Which company isn't having problems?

What's easier to build, or in the OS world, support?

You can't be low end user and install Vista.
