Do you normally have a hard time counting to 5, thats the number of versions of Vista, including their Enterprise edition?

I think you're forgetting Starter and the two versions required for the EU market. Since most of these versions are available as both retail and upgrade packages, you have more versions. And then there will be the OEM versions.

It's a lot more than five. I guesstimate it as 12-15 different Vistas.

You can buy Tiger discounted. $80-$100 generally, lowest I've seen is $70. Also you can buy the family pack with 5 licenses that runs around $140 now at Amazon. Microsoft, with a clearly inferior product, charges more across the board. And Tiger doesn't have a bunch of peon second-class (or third-class) users. Nor does its slick desktop features and solid UNIX underpinnings require expensive high-end machines to run it since even my old 1.4 Mini handles it pretty easily.

Personally, I think Microsoft should give Vista away. And I might turn them down even if it was free.

Well don't forget the packaging colors perhaps you can create even more "versions".

Congratulations fan boi, you have just confirmed all the stereotypes of Mac users, Pompous,and Arrogant. You have already demonstrated your disinformation. Not too mention your liberal-like hatred of MS, with your hatred of MS for making a profit (and still today January 30, 2007, never has Microsoft forced me to spend a penny).
