Microsoft is full of it! Do you really believe micosoft is releasing SFU (for FREE) for everyone's benefit? If you believe that, I've got a real land deal in Florida for you. I recently switched my small business to Suse Linux and everyone seems to like it. I had a Linux Trainer from the Local University spend two days getting the employees up to speed. Now, I don't have to worry about Microsoft ACTIVATION CRAP or the ever changing LICENSE AGREEMENT. I OWN the software and I DECIDE how, when and where to use it.
Wish I'd taken the plunge into Linux a bit sooner. BTW, I heard about other companies holding Micosoft License burning parties and think it's a great way to handle the switch!
Now, if I could only get the Tax Man off my back...
