Vacuous Vista versioning

Macworld logoWhile thinking about the upcoming release of 10.5, aka Leopard, I realized that Apple has yet one more advantage over Microsoft: simpler choices for the consumer who is contemplating an OS purchase. I compared Vista and OS X versions in this May Editor's Notes writeup on Macworld. As a friend noted, it's almost like Microsoft is making it hard to purchase Vista, given the differing versions one must choose between.

  1. Hi Rob,

    In your macworld article you stated:

    "Contrast that with OS X, which has a total of four versions—but that includes OS X Server."

    What are these four versions of OS X that you're talking about? There's consumer and Server version. Am I missing something?

  2. OS X Server - Unlimited
    OS X Server - 10 client
    OS X Client - Single user
    OS X Client - Family Pack

    -rob.
