* 'Why Modular Windows Will Suck for Microsoft and for You'
posted by Thom Holwerda on Sun 6th Apr 2008 09:38 UTC, submitted by Francis Kuntz
IconArs analyses the concept of a modular Windows, and concludes: "Modularization - and the discriminatory pricing it permits - might appeal to accountants and economists. But it is bad for consumers, bad for Windows, and ultimately, bad for Microsoft. A modularized Windows, or worse still, a modularized subscription-based Windows, undermines the purpose and value of the Windows OS. If it comes to pass it will surely sound the death knell of the entire Windows platform."
