For Vista Microsoft is actually selling additional licenses for around 50 dollars. Contact Microsoft for additional product serial numbers.

I’m looking at a batch of computers myself.

As it is, I’m thinking of just going with the MSDN subscription. At $699 (less if can manage an upgrade), it sounds like a deal to me. Plus, you actually get the full right to virtualize any version of Vista. That’s what I’m currently looking at. Although, I’ve got awhile before I’ll actually be ready to do so.

They should so the "family thing" like Apple does with OS X upgrades. One price for the entire household.

I think you are right but unless it is a huge discount I dont see most people affording it anyways, but now that you mention your kids, I think Microsoft should release a kids version of Windows, cheaper and more limited, Kids should be able to research and do homework maybe some games but they dont need multimedia.

But I dont think MS really cares about their private customers, I worked retail once and the MS representative that came out to fill our shelves was always acting like he was annoyed, he wouldn’t even give us extra empty boxes for display purpose.
