| nordlead said: actually, I remember this now and it is incredibly stupid and money grabbing of Microsoft. While I understand a "home" user won't need more than 8GB, say I want to create my own at home research project that needs more than 16GB, why should I have to pay extra for "Professional" when it doesn't have anything I really need other than ram support. You should be paying Microsoft for more features (media center, or business features), not paying less for gimped code that cost them more to gimp than leave it fully open. However, most people who do research don't use Windows anyways |
I suspect the number of people who would fall into that grouping would be very small indeed. I suspect it has more to do with seperating the home user from the professional. They want to charge extra to businesses, they're not interested in creating an artificial barrier which nets them very little extra from the home market.
Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
