Where's the Plus in Select Plus?

| I hate it when Microsoft introduces volume-licensing changes. Maybe you do,

| Companies, like people, have character flaws. With licensing, Microsoft
| consistently overstates the benefits while understating shortcomings and
| consistently talks about simplifying the contract process while creating yet
| more programs that only increase complexity.

Some say it shows how nervous Microsoft is. It's trying to pin down consumers
who begin looking elsewhere.
My mom, who is a technophobe, told me today that she began hearing a lot more
about Linux. It's mainstream. I guess the trolling in COLA is more indication
of this.

Microsoft’s is losing its grasp on the technology markets

| When I say the Xbox 360 is a disaster, I’m simply pointing to evidence that,

| the 360 anticipating a 1 in 3 failure rate, and figured Bill’s big bank
| account could weather the storm.
