MickeyMouse has a history of crippling software. Just look how they crippled
XP Home, when it could easily have contained all that XP Pro has. In fact,
there was NO REASON, other than marketing, to even have a HOME version.
They could have just provided XP (Pro), lowered the price and sold just
that one product.

Read the history here of MickeyMouse and you'll see that this is its idea of
"innovation".
