what? no gwavy?

so…yeah.

the action pack for january is on-time. look for it to arrive toward the end of that month.

crimson skies kicks ass!

whoops…sorry. wrong action pack.

this one!

an effective weapon in the fight for marketshare...or a rampant piracy tool being exploited by partner pretenders? on the next oprah!

here’s the list of what’s coming.

some curious entries on there.

office 2007 enterprise will be in there. that’s right, enterprise.

oh…and uh…

vista business. no ultimate.

altho mothership will graciously let you upgrade to ultimate for 139 smackeroos…

per license.

so no bitlocker…no media features…

unless you feel like ponying.

might want to keep in mind that, if you upgrade all 10 vista business licenses in ap to ultimate…

you’ll be shelling out just a hair under $1400.

add that to the $300 you already dropped for ap…

and you will have paid $100 more than a certified partner or gold certified partner paid for their partner program membership, and without receiving the benefit of…

  • a logo
  • an msdn subscription
  • a technet subscription
  • support incidents

all i can say is…

we know what you're doing with your maps! you'll go blind!

welcome to the funcave, all you damn dirty software pirates…i mean, microsoft registered partners!
