MS Offers Vista Upgrade Pricing To All
SlinkySausage writes "With a vague whiff of desperation, Microsoft is offering anyone who downloaded one of the betas or release candidates of Vista upgrade pricing for the full version. The 'special' deal is a sweetener for the fact that the betas will start expiring and becoming non-functional from May 31st. APC Magazine in Australia writes: 'Windows Vista is starting to look like those Persian rug stores which are always having a "closing down" sale... All stock has been slashed, save $$$, why pay more?'" Perhaps Microsoft is cognizant of straws in the wind such as a recent InformationWeek survey indicating that 30% of business have no intention of moving to Vista, ever.
It would be spun as a tribute to how cool they are and how much they love users.
You know, people can write blog posts about Microsoft being dead, and Slashdot Zealots can spend ANOTHER (its been what, 6+ now) giving each other hand-jobs about how "desperate" Microsoft is... and it won't change reality a bit.
Welcome to the FUD zone!

Hey, this Persian rug I just bought seems to have several holes in it!
Light cup, beer drink, thin so chain, neck turtle fat, man I won't say it again
