Skunks, How is it that pricing of the same Microsoft software from different vendors is so different?. Is it that Microsoft licencing model is so complicated? And where can we get the real prices for microsoft software because the website clearly does not have this information. regards, James
Microsoft lets their Distributors add their own mark-up on each product. These distributors (about 2 in Kenya) then supply to the retail market... At this point, vendors add whatever mark-up they wish to... Hit me offline and i will explain better.. On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 10:15 AM, James Kagwe <kagwejg@gmail.com> wrote:

I wish Microsoft would enlighten people on their licensing models. I want to understand what I'm buying before I go to the vendors otherwise with very complicated models you are likely to spend more money for a licence that would have been cheaper. You cannot fully depend on vendors when each one of them has a different view of how you should licence the same software given the same infrastructure. regards, James On 6/22/2010 12:00 PM, Alvin Jason Ochieng wrote:
