Mr Brown said:The whole microsoft licence thing is a rip off, all this client/server crap and user cals I would never pay for microsoft software out of princible plus is easy to get it for free if you know were to look. Bill gates makes more than enough money, he ripped the idear of windows off apple plus all the crap over IE and netscape Microsoft want to take over the world
Tis all true what you say, but anyone running a business even if its only a single server feeding 5 clients they are always best to keep it right, its just not worth it if found out, plus getting upgrades is the way MS gets you in the end, or SP's. The thing is tho the license thing is so complex that very few IT guys know what to do, so in my experience they welcomed the input of MS to sort it out as many times we saved them money as well. You can have site license, company license's, server license's, client license, it goes on & on I know, I was an account manager for licencing!
I'm not pro MS in anyway, Linux is a better OS, but Office is still the best unforunatley, & even the real MS haters agree on that one, but it is expensive.
PS good company to work for as they give loads of freebee's.
