The only way a human will own that is by going to the 'bay for pirates'... I suppose is a snap compared to Websphere which did retail some years ago around ~£60,000 GBP.

I can't imagine anyone purchasing that one. I mean, MSDN subscriptions make sense, even the Premium, but Ultimate is plain crazy, and it's for one single user.

I presume you're joking, but a 300-500 price would be more realistic. And one version.

*All* of Microsoft's pricing is off the mark.

The only way I'd get that version is if it came with a lifetime supply of BBBBBBBB (Beautiful Blond Bimbos Bearing Big Bodacious Bouncing Breasts). BTW, the value "BBBBBBBB", when converted to binary is 10111011101110111011101110111011. This information is provided to keep the post somewhat programmer-specific.

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001I'm glad they didn't just make up a price and say "$11,299". If it were that price you'd know they hadn't thought it through, but clearly at $11,294 they have done their best to scrape every last dollar off the price.

They should have scraped another $11,200 from the price. Only then it would have been obvious. :)

The pro pricing is basically unchanged. Premium pricing is roughly inline with Team System Kitchen Sink edition. The $11k edition has no predecessor. Standard ($350) and Team System One Part Only ($2.5k) editions appear to be KIA.

Wow... Just... wow... You know, I like .NET and WPF and everything, but prices like that make me think it may be time to switch to Java.

And MS seems to have plotted a course out. For themselves, anyway. :-D (Not to worry. I hear the surplus income is being re-routed to the Windoze Mobile group. They're going to buy an Android phone, reverse engineer it, then release WM7 - Android With Bugs.) ;)
