"It has nothing to do with licence counting right now, but companies will need to expend time and effort and some money to administer this, in the name of helping Microsoft recoup revenue lost to piracy," he said. "There needs to be more of a benefit [for customers]. Linux and Mac communities will try to make hay with this, but this will not be the tipping point."

Ahhh so in order for microsoft to get more money the companies who use the ms software have to pay their employees to make sure that microsoft are getting their cash!

There doesn't seem to be any sort of incentive here. Why would anyone in their right mind agree to pay their IT department for learning how to set this up just to ensure that microsoft are getting all the money they can. It is rediculous. Typical microsoft, pass the buck and claim the rewards.
