MS Tweaks Ill-Received Licensing Plan

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the briar-patch-approach dept.

ahooton writes "C|Net is reporting that Microsoft has updated it's Software Assurance licensing program. The company has admitted that it's initial approach angered a large number of customers. No huge difference in pricing or terms -- changes are comprised of bundling some training and support. The one interesting concession is that corporate licensees of Microsoft Office can now use that suite on a home computer as well." What a concession.

    No intention to stereotype, nor is there any anti-Semitism intended, but I have yet to meet a single Jew that didn't justify the persona in the definition of the negotiation tactics described in the parent post. Could be my only interaction with Jews to any extent has been on a professional level or watching the news on the "negotiations" between Israel and Palestine - but I digress.
