Two approaches to Microsoft's (over)pricing
If you're a Microsoft reseller, you've heard the same age complaints for decades: Microsoft is evil and its products are too expensive and lack security.
The Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine aims to help worker bees who are confronted with those complaints in an story about "Dealing with Microsoft haters".
Let's skip the 'evil' and 'security' arguments for now and focus on the cost. The story quotes Microsoft partner David Wertz with PC Worlks Plus who claims that: "We do software and application development ourselves, so I know the cost of that. I haven't the foggiest clue what the costs are in developing [Microsoft] operating systems, but it must be incredible." Windows, he concludes, is "not just more money in Bill Gates' pocket."
