We have an Enterprise version of OSX, an Ultimate version of OSX, and a Basic version of OSX. They all sell for the same price, all have the same capabilities, and all look the same. It makes more sense for us to do this, then to deliberately cripple some versions of OSX just to make a bit more money.

The same is true about Gnu/Linux, Gnu/BSD, and Gnu/Solaris as well.

MONETARY GAIN. bills quietly pushed through congress legislate microsoft’s domination of an entire new and emerging industry of intellectuals and innovators, they cripple progress in the interest of a few and ideas are stomped out by a ruthless gigantic corporation with it’s beginnings rooted deeply in fraud, subversion and the consolidation of a society’s work in progress to a few men who reap the benefits, all the work of a half a century of innovators, techies and engineers goes to profit GATES.
