Subject: Re: Software: All Vista versions to ship on a single disk
But the real question is the licensing. How will the licensing terms be
handled?
Will it be handled by each install per PC, CPU, Dual-CPU or Quad-CPU? ALso
will
the multi-version vista be preloaded on each OEM PC or user installed?
WIll one disk per PC be the normal channel? Will they come withe a restore
disk?
If Vista is anything like the Windows operating systems prior to Vista, the
customer will receive what the OEM wants them to receive. I furnish the
Windows XP Home OEM CD from Microsoft, unfooled around with. We all know
what the others furnish, everything from their data only on the hard drive
up to a doctored CD full of junk. Either way it is a pile of bloatware and
makes the computer an advertising machine. Why would Vista be any different?
Although we do not know how Visa will turn out, there is no reason to
believe that it will be any different in the media delivered to the end user
other than the DVD being comprehensive, having all versions of the operating
system on it. This would apply IF the end user gets that DVD from Microsoft,
unfooled around with. I am not going to fool around with the media and
remake it. If that is a requirement with Vista, I will not sell Vista
computers. I want the Vista DVD from my supplier, unfooled around with, so I
can pass it on to the end user.
