David. Competitors as in Linux, Apple and others.
Microsoft will rather see customers buying second-hand Microsoft licenses then none at all. Because customers buying second-hand licenses are less likely to do something else then making use of those second-hand Microsoft licenses.
If that's stepping on some Microsoft Partners toes then, so it seems, that's not something Microsoft itself finds of more importance at the moment.
