Isn’t this another Microsoft FAIL?

The lack of traction for this (very obvious) no-brainer to the executives of Microsoft is beyond astonishing; it is downright alarming!

For goodness sakes!

First, there was the mess that was the Windows Vista Family Pack.

Don’t you remember?

You know…the one where you had to purchase a copy of Windows Vista Rip-Off Edition Ultimate Edition, and then get the right to purchase a couple of copies of Windows Vista Home Basic. Or was it Home Premium?

I forget, for it was a stupid idea, anyway you sliced and diced it.

You would think that the denizens of 1, Microsoft Way, in Redmond, USA, would have listened to my exhortations here (#14) and here (#9) for Microsoft – the company - to create a true Family Pack.

In the Windows 7 era, a Family Pack was introduced, and today, there are reports that that SKU has gone bye-bye.

For which I ask, “Who is minding the store up there?”

Who at Microsoft does not see the necessity for a Family Pack?

Using my siblings, and immediate family as examples, everyone has multiple systems, with the least number being three.

Are they expected to see the value in a product arrogantly priced exorbitantly?

Someone (with clout) in Redmond needs to take a reality pill, and do the right thing!
