I don't understand what this had to do with what I said? They sold Windows 7 Enterprise with Software Assurance on an Open License six years ago.

I am talking about the process you have to go through to buy Windows licenses and licensing in general with Microsoft. I literally had to take a exam at one point on Microsoft licensing to be eligible for a program of theirs.

I wasn't complaining about the price, or available options, I was complaining about how hard they make it to actually give them money, see how much things cost, and to be clear about exactly what licenses you need.
