Microsoft Won't Charge More for Multicore Licenses

Posted by timothy on from the great-order-up-a-few-dozen-cores dept.

esimp writes "According to technewsworld: 'As servers with dual-core processors come closer to hitting the market, Microsoft announced today it will not base its per-processor software licensing charges on the number of cores in a chip, sticking to the traditional price per processor, regardless of its number of cores." Update: 10/20 00:37 GMT by T : One of the identical links to TechNewsWorld's story has now been deleted.

    Now if only more than one person could use a copy of Word at the same time. It's so underwhelming.

    Perhaps they could reimburse everyone for all the time spent weeding out worms and viruses. Nah, that would make a "profit center" into a money loser as well as customer loser.
