What's the most expensive program installed on your computer?

[Deeko]

Probably Office (obtained legally from school). didn't cost me anything except 24k/year in tuition.

Imagine a software that lets you reach multiple systems/OS simultaneously and let you access the devices at physical level, then throw in other capabilities such as accessing RAM, and uncover root kits and whack them if need to; then imagine being able to do this anywhere on earth, from and scalable to any sized network. Now, since we have the devices at physical level, imagine what ever else we can do with the system, all of this is going on while your production environment is not impacted and you are oblivious of its existence.

In an average implementation, one program installed on my laptop is worth $1.2 mil.

And I didn't even include anything else, or WOW .

My laptop >>> yours


Edit: Someone complained about rules not being cleared. So the software has to be installed on a computer that you own, or is assigned to you. And that you use it on a daily basis, and on average what an organization would pay for it. The $1.2 figure is not really that much.

"worth" $1.2 mil? You mean it COST that much.

I have a copy of IP Lab (microscope & camera automation with full image analysis, deconvolution, and ratiometric analysis) that if sold to a customer would be worth roughly $11K.

Well, since we develop it and it didn't cost me anything, I'd think worth is appropriate in this sense. And people have paid more :shocked:

Mine = Vista Home Premium
Wife's = Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium

 

[crownjules]

Are we talking about personal machines or work machines as well? Well, I'll do both.

Personal - XP Professional, that's like $100 now?
Work - R Studio Technician, a data recovery software suite. Runs about $900 a copy.

 

[child of wonder]

My laptop has AOL on it.

Priceless.

You just can't put a dollar amount on that piece of shit.

100,000$ per user + 50,000$/year for maintenance/update/support

n/m

 

[Modelworks]

Maya 2008 + plugins $12,000

If I add in all the other applications I use, its roughly $28,000

Its all insured for $30K

 

[GG02]

Maya 2008....much better than 8.5? Or better yet, I should ask, are there any noticeable changes/additions?

at what date does this System become Self-Aware?

Windows Vista Ultimate 64.

[Leros]

The only paid software I have is:

Vista Ultimate ($39 student version)
Office 2007 ($20 student version)

I have managed to use open source and free stuff for everything else.

No sense in bragging if you can't provide a name...

 

[Squisher]

Windows XP Pro $50

Bought with an academic discount but not an academic version.

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Office Ultimate 2007. I think its like $500-$600 but I got it for $60 as part of Microsoft's Ultimate Steal Deal for college students.

Since you said "in an average implementation," I'm guessing the $1.2 million is not per workstation, but rather the cost for the whole organization? Divide it up over the number of systems and get back to us.

The most expensive program installed on my computer is Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition, which I believe runs about $40k per processor. But I got it free from Oracle Technology Network.

 

[Scouzer]

Windows Vista

Although I can't imagine how much the software our work computers use cost...

 

[Fritzo]

Office 2007 Enterprise - Over $500/license

It really depends on the implementation, but pricing is first and foremost based on capabilities desired, then infrastructure. So, you can have a few thousand nodes network and pay more than a guy with a few hundred thousands.

I can tell you, but then I'd have to... eh... eliminate you, or something like that.
