In a Microsoft shop that keeps semi-current, you also get the costs of windows server, office, exchange, and sharepoint. Plus the cost of CALs for the servers, CALs for exchange, and CALs for sharepoint.
And Microsoft wonders why businesses don't do every upgrade.

JIT
Do you think anybody will learn from this? Or are companies going to continue to use just in time manufacturing business as usual?
5,400?
5,400 RPM? It is an insult that 5,400 RPM drives are still being produced.

It wanted to install a Bing toolbar for me this time.

30 percent off
I live in Detroit. Some of the local dealerships that are closing are offering vehicles at 30 percent off sticker price.
Ticketmaster
An example - an upcoming local show (in Detroit) has tickets for $15 if you buy them up at the box office. Then ticketmaster does this:
Tickets (Words and Rhythm of the D wsg Talib Kweli)
FULL PRICE TICKET US - $12.00 x 1
Total Building Facility Charge(s) - US $3.00 x 1
Total Convenience Charge(s) - US $3.90 x 1
Order Processing Charge(s) - US $4.35
TicketFast Delivery - US $2.50
TOTAL CHARGES US $25.75
In my example, ticketmaster increases the price of the ticket by 72% just for the convenience of being able to print the ticket at home.
My vice principal in school was named
Anita Cox.
rss feeds too
Same goes for RSS feeds.
Just the other week I caught this RSS feed from slashdot "MS To Finally End OEM Licensing".
Imagine how disappointed I was when I clicked on that only to find "MS To Finally End OEM Licensing For Windows 3.11".
cost not justified
$37,000 - are they crazy?
LTO-4 drives are easily under $5000.
Who in their right mind would pay over 700 % more for a device that is only a 25 % improvement?
