Microsoft - The Evil Empire...Maybe?...But this? Give me a break...Let me understand this:, Microsoft - Arguably one of the world's best marekting machines - has eveloved to the point where they are trying to capitalize on little-known non-profit organizations? I think that WorldVista and the VA shoudl be THANKFUL for the publcity...I am constantly amazed that people are upset with Microsoft...If Linux is so great, use it...For my money the Mac has one of the best interfaces in computing (still not bested by the Commodore AMIGA)...but people continue to buy Microsoft becuase why? It is pretty good stuff...Does better niche technology exist? Certainly...But MOST people are very pleased with Microsoft...BTW: Last time I checked they were a FOR PROFIT organization... They are not trying to extol the benefits of "open source" and then charging you $1500 per year for support...They at least tell you...Prepare to pay...Their tech support is pretty good too...I'm sorry but I think they are a top notch organization with a good value proposition...
