This may help to explain things: Blissfully Ignorant Shoppers Happier with Choices
When it comes to shopping, researchers at the University of Iowa have found that sometimes ignorance really is bliss. Using consumer-style tests, they found that the less people knew about a product, the more they liked it. They suggest the results show we need to be happy with our choices, even if it means kidding ourselves. http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/537323/?sc=dwtr -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Whil Hentzen Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 4:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [NF] M$ "Oh, by the way", extortion pricing; was [fw] Gil Hale wrote: > Trusting me (past tense is really what I mean), I must have blown right by > it in the setup, as I had no reason to think I would be having to deal with > a wnd layer of CAL charges for TS.

Don't feel bad, Gil. Most packages of crack cocaine that you buy on the street don't have the "this is going to addict you before you get home" label attached either. Silly consumers - why don't they already KNOW this stuff? Because it's not in the manufacturer's interest to fully inform you. They just want to hook you without telling you everything you should know.
