"The change made me angry," White says. "I don't think the pricing is reasonable." He wasn't alone. Microsoft's shift to a new licensing program in 2001 also boosted prices without warning for 60 percent of its customers, according to a 2003 survey by the Yankee Group, a Boston-based research firm.

09/04/2004 02:40 AM
Customer satisfaction and brand loyalty regarding home networking equipment are related directly to product ease of installation and operation, according to Parks Associates’ Primary Perspectives: Complexity and Customer Satisfaction in the Networked Home.The study finds that satisfaction declines precipitously – as much as 25% – if a customer is required to make two or more service calls to install and operate home network equipment. Progress has been made in simplifying these products through standard device drivers and graphics-based installation wizards, but in order to secure long-term success in this market, developers and providers should continue devising new ways to reduce the complexity of home networking solutions.
