Microsoft did this only to make more money. They didn't do this so people could run Vista on old machines. They don't care about that especially since most sales of the OS will be on new OEM machines. The tiered Vista system is just to drag more money out of people. MS hoped that people would get the stripped down versions of Vista and then pony up more money to "upgrade" to the features they thought they were getting.

Uh, completely wrong. It is truly irrelevant whatever stance your subjectivity may take -- and especially, in this case, such inept cynicism is laughably wrong. In corporate business, it makes sense to develop a product that caters to varying audience, with price points to match. It is one hundred percent up to the consumer to ensure they purchase the solution that is most optimum for the wants they have. If you are unable to conceptualize these simple ideas, maybe DailyTech isn't the site for you?

Last generation's edition of Microsoft OSes included 3 line-ups, not two -- MCE was one of them. Whether or not Microsoft made a mistake isn't what you are able to tell us, but how its shareholders and board of directors respond to the reversion of a faster refresh.
