Now riding solo at MSFT, Steve Ballmer will do anything to save the fluster-cluck that is Vista. Unhappy Vista victims can now upgrade to something called “Microsoft Services Premier Ultimate,” which will help corporate customers maintain their “IT health.” So Ars Technica reports here. Translation for us poor, ordinary peons who have Vista installed on our private PCs? It’s just like health insurance: If you can’t afford it, or don’t get it through your employer, you die.Oh, which reminds us that Microsoft is also getting into the health-care biz. So if you like what it’s doing with your operating system, you’ll just love the features it can add to your colonoscopy (now Vista-compatible).
