OK, the remote access I can understand. But charging to use a pro version of the OS - half the time the features that make the OS pro are not ones which the average joe blogs is going to use on a daily basis anyway! And often, machines with high tech specs will come with a Pro OS supplied. So, the user is penalised just for that? Also, what is a pro OS now anyway? One could say Vista Business or 7 Enterprise is a pro OS compared to Vista or 7 Home Premium, or is the pro just for the top version of the OS, i.e. Ultimate? _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
