Corporate edition is a few thousand dollars i beleive... (in AU$ anyway)
Just like most of the no-liscence products u find... like 3ds max commecial edition, between 1-2 grand US$
I'm not sure that Corporate edition is legal to use on a home computer but I guess it would be hard for MS to know.
It is illegal to use for anything but business.
If a company doesn't buy individual licenses for it, they must buy volume licensing and has to have an MS audit to see what they run.
MS could care less about home users being legit, all they care about is business.
If you don't have Windows XP by now, don't bother upgrading from 2000; unless you want XP64, it's pretty much done, maybe one more service pack.
It's safe to say that Microsoft Windows Longhorn is well in the pipeline, and should be arriving Q2 2006. But then again, paper launches are almost always off by at least two to three months.

cant wait for Longhorn. i bet they will have presentations all over the US where they will give out free windows to everyone, just like they did with Office 2003.
Yeah, the overhauled user interface is gonna be a huge relief.Originally Posted by MrSlacker

The final longhorn release -from what i've heard- will have a 3D UI (i dont know if its true 3d or just faked) But it will still be cool to check that out.
