And those MS audits are a real bleeping joy.  Let me tell you.  Even if
you are trying to be legal - keeping track of all the paperwork - yuck!

We are seriously entertaining the idea of replacing the desktop, and NT
servers, with Linux.

Actually follow-up stories are saying that IBM is dropping the printed
materials and shrink-wrapped packaging.  There will be no more retail
store
sales from IBM.  The last that I knew OS/2 was selling above plan and was
a
profitable piece of IBM's product mix.

It sure would be nice to get off the MS hamster wheel.   IT managers with
MS
products must feel like fools when they walk into their budget meetings
and
request 7+% of company revenues.
