Microsoft Licensing is notoriously hard. That's a real issue. Why not attack them on this and not something, you made up? https://twitter.com/lsanoj/status/964280801239105536 …https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/964043031715467264 …

how many people run machines with 4 Sockets as there desktops? Even with workstations, this is very rare these days. That wall you see, it's only relevant for a limited number of people. I would rather trash them for failing to scale down, then this far up.

i believe the socket limitations are not against the desktop users, they are against management who will ask there staff to run production servers on a desktop OS to save license costs (yes, thats a real problem, people do that).

Hardware based licenses are nothing new. Not for the market, not for Microsoft. This was (is) standard business model in both Unix and DBMS. Even outside of Oracle, you will find it at OpenSource vendors like RedHat. https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/server/rhel.html?purpleidea …
