6 vs. 1

In an attempt to beat SvN this time, I would like to ask, is it really necessary to have six versions of the same thing?

If you look at Apple’s selection for OSX, you are given two choices:

And to boot, those choices are self-explanatory. Microsoft has to devote an entire section of their website explaining the differences between every version. Even their current lineup is easier to navigate with the five editions of XP.

When I see things like this, I am glad I boot up to osx. Aside from the gains in a more secure, user-friendly environment, I’m sure I save at least another few hours not having to figure out which version to use.

That’s why when it comes to Dimewise, we continue on our quest to simplify the world of personal finance and are offering one version. How many times have you looked at the back of a quicken box trying to decide which version is right for you?

Maybe we should look at doing that for this country’s healthcare system
