Once again proving that people will complain about Microsoft just to complain about Microsoft. Tell me, what's wrong with having options? If you only want to use "X," do you want to be forced to pay for Y and Z, too? If you can only afford $, wouldn't you rather have a couple options costing $, instead of one single version costing $$$?

As for the netbook issue, that's a tough call; do you lose money by charging less for more, and do you make owners of other hardware devices subsidize those losses? My initial opinion is to support the installation of the lower-cost editions, and if consumers want to upgrade to Home Premium, they'll have to pay. Of course, they'll complain about that, too...

The problem is that most of the time I want X and Y, but I do not want Z, E, and T. So I have to pay $$ more on top of $ just to have Y.

I really think they should just sell everything for 99$, everyone will buy it. Even me.
