The price to customers?

I think Steven Hodson might just be a little pissed off at Microsoft and Apple at the moment.

I just want to say thank you Microsoft – thank you for nothing. You roll out a wowser (is that a thud I hear growing louder?) of an operating system called Vista expecting the glory days to return.

Guess what … it ain’t; and isn’t, gonna happen.

As usual you went for the corporate pocketbooks and in the process introduced a pricing and versioning scheme that was like a bullet to the heads of every mom and pop computer store out there.

Hey Mr. Steve “Baldy” Ballmer – you ever seen a deer with it’s head caught in the lights?

Well thanks to your brilliance that’s exactly the look in every customer’s face that does business with hundreds of thousands of small computer shop who want to upgrade or buy new.

The thing is, that I can’t say I don’t agree with him. He’s dead right!

    And then Ballmer has to go open his mouth again – look for another slap for him today at some point. I just have to figure out some php problems first :)
