What stumped us was, after the third or fourth year mi kipa dad an (Although not once did they visited our office), our office decided we need to add another PC, so our office mate called Thinking Tools Mandaue City (Where we purchased all our software & PCs) to order the PC, but TT said that we can't have Vista Home Basic installed because para business use daw, kahinanglan daw Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate, confused mi kay kato pag buy namo sa TT kato time ma na wa pana PATP, OK ra sila sa Vista Home Basic, weeks later naa mi client ingon na kunsabo ng PAPT ug mga PC stores na namaligya ug software, mao increase jud sales sa softwares every year nila na buhaton, paticularly Windows, Office, Accounting, Draw, Photoshop, ug uban pa mahalon design software which is in use in most offices, kabantay man amo mga office mates na ny manawag female taga PAPT informing na adto sila office, ask pa gani pila kabuok PCs, ila gani binuangan ingnon na di licensed amo mga software, but knowing na 7 ra amo PC di sila mu daginot, nya usually after 3 to 4 days naa napud manawag taga Microsoft, mag ask if licensed amo mga Windows, pattern na kaayo, mao ni Philippines di na jud mu asenso, imbis mga real problems ang sulbaron like corruption, poverty, crime, unemployment, pangwartahan naman hinuon ta, ang resulta sa PAPT unemployment amo 2 ka designer, I think ila tirada kana daghan na jud PCs like 20 and above sguro, I'm not sure though, how many PCs does your office have?
