“OK, now I’m getting really steamed. Last December I wrote about
Microsoft’s increasingly frequent practice of charging for betas
under the guise of “preview” programs.”
“… last week Microsoft announced a “Corporate Preview Program”
for Windows 2000.”
“In all, you can spend more than $100 on the preview
package!”
“You can spend more – much more – for a look at a beta of
Windows 2000 than you will for the actual, final, released
distributions of, say, Linux. For example, SUSE is releasing Linux
6.1 on May 3, and its full, final version will cost just $50!
“It’s bizarre and even a little grotesque.”
