They sort of did the same thing with XP. Went to BestBuy the other day because I was bored and was browsing around the software aisle to see what was new and there were two different boxes for the same XP with a $100 difference in price. One claims to be for computers with 95 and before or no OS and the cheaper one for computers with 98 and up. Yeah, I have one disc and it's been used on computers with no OS, one with 95, one with 98, and one with ME, never had a problem with any.

All big business does that, anything for the extra buck.
