The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Couple things I see.
1) you probably don't need the MS direct support contract. One-off calls
(at least in the US) are $295 so yes, _IF_ you use it 5 times/year for 3
years you'll save with the contract, but that's not likely to happen.
Pay as you go. So cut another 3200 from the Windows solution
2) Joe, why can't you use Express or Standard? Yes, I use Pro, but it's
frightening what you can get accomplished w/express, especially when
going again SQLServer since they are tightly coupled. And standard is
almost as good as pro, and it's unlikely you'll need what's in Pro
unless you're doing some very special stuff. Standard can be had for
less than $200.
3) 6-7K for VS Pro? If you're buying it for 10 people (and paying too
much), is that the case here? Are all 10 people developers?
