| �If there�s one thing that may influence adoption, make things slower or cause customers to pause, it�s that generally the ASPs (average selling price) of the operating systems are higher than they were for Vista and XP,� Darrell Ward, director of product management for Dell�s business client product group, told CNET. �In tough economic times, I think it�s naive to believe that you can increase your prices on average and then still see a stronger swell than if you held prices flat or even lowered them. I can tell you that the licensing tiers at retail are more expensive than they were for Vista.� |

You know, I am actually going to pony up the dough on this one. Don't know why exactly, but I feel compelled. |

Fair enough.
But I'd choose to give my money to some small game developing company, or a musician that I really like who sells his/her music from their website.........Microsoft don't need anymore money. |

Had I paid for Vista, I may think the same way.
While I essentially agree with eamo - MS not needing anymore money - they are offering a product that no one else is. |
