turrican said:wastingtimewithforums said:*snip*I fully agree with you. It's unclean to do that.
BUT...
That being said, I think Vista was released 2007, hm, 2012, say 5 years. Maybe it's just me but those businesses who bought Ultimate are not big business and mostly smaller ones. I frankly think it is good that they are "kind'a" forced to upgrade.
I mean 5 years in the IT is like 100 years.
People talk a lot about costs, but lets be frank, the cost of an upgrade is not a lot if you are using something for earning money and have it for around 5 years.
There is also the argument about "but old software bla bla bla", I tell such people to oh please go cry me a river would ya? Virtualize the old crap and move on.
But yeah, again, I agree. I think they should extend the support for the most expensive version as well, eventhough it's "consumer" but they nevertheless advertise it for business too.
Yes I think 5 years is very reasonable but that should be 5 years from Windows 7's release not Vista's release.
