Microsoft Unbundles Software For NY City
doishmere writes "Microsoft has agreed to sell individual pieces of software to NY City workers, rather than forcing each seat to buy a full suite of software.

* Cleverly forget to mention Microsoft disasters such as Bob, the Zune, Windows Mobile, or Vista

Well, at least he's right about Visual Studio(as far as Windows is concerned). The fact that the Express version is free AND comes with a free implementation of MSSQL only cements it in because it is the entry point, it's free, and it's what everyone uses in lower division college courses. No better way to lock in your market
This is why they made Marijuana Illegal.
