RE: Re: MS Server OS's : Don't get it

It actually the same thing... if you didn't have a Vista disc, they'd
charge you about the same to get one, with no license.

And if you DO have access to a WHS disc (from someone else) feel free to
use it.

6 of one, half dozen of the other.

It's just far easier to put hands on a vista disc than a WHS disc these
days...

See this I don't "get" ... why do Microsoft sell a time limited
version
for
a fiver?

The "model" they have with Vista is great ... you can install any
version of
Vista from any media set and use it for 30 days and then it becomes
inactive
unless you enter a valid license key for the version you have. If you
have a
cut down version and want a "better" version you can upgrade to a
better
version by using the media set that you have and just entering an
upgrade
key.

In that way Microsoft really don't have to care any longer if their
CDs/DVDs
get copied and distributed (in fact the more they do the better) so why
not
do that with WHS?

Hohummmm...
