Microsoft: Vista upgrades for everybody | |

Windows Vista is starting to look like those Persian rug stores which are always having a 'closing down' sale. 'Full' prices are set laughably high only to make you think you're getting an amazing discount, because no-one pays the marked price. All stock has been slashed, save $$$, why pay more? The latest from Sultan Bill's House of Software is that anyone running any pre-release version of Vista code -- from the creaky Beta 2 to the slicker Release Candidate builds and assorted Customer Preview Program (CPP) editions -- is eligible for upgrade pricing on the full version of Vista. |

| except that 99% of the buying public, didn't get an RC or CPT build. So, "everybody" in the headline seems a bit much. |

Whats wrong with rewarding beta testers?

| #2, Once upon a time, beta testers were rewarded with the free release version of the software they tested. Of course, that was back in the day when software craftsmanship was prevalent too. |

#3 I got a free copy of Virtual Server 2005 R2 for being a beta tester.
Then they gave it away for free to everyone else. |
