The question that comes to my mind now though is the new Licensing Practices
from Microsoft.  It seems as they gain a stranglehold in a market, as they
have with their office suite product, their prices become extortionist.
Their software revenues grew by 11% while everyone around them is shattered
or reeling from a PC depression that just won't quit.

Of course "interactive tax" leaps to the fore....    maybe we should revisit
OS/400 on Intel?

Too bad. Do they give valid reasons or just "because it's bad?" I'd guess
they are jumping on the "MS is bad" bandwagon w/o doing their homework. They
probably believe that running Linux will protect them from all viruses and
hacks too, no? <G>

Like all software, it has it's problems and bugs. But for the most part is
easy to learn, well supported (by MS and the internet community), easy to
learn and powerful.

Unfortunately, I and many of my clients will not install or run IIS. If IIS
is required for ASP to be really useful, then ASP is not an option. That's
too bad, because some of it seems to be pretty nice.
