My company has (what I thought was) an interesting strategy re: this. The majority of the workforce uses Windows XP, but new computers we buy (from Gateway cum MPC) come with Vista installed. So, the way the license person figures it, we keep track of each Vista license (by the receipt for the computer) and then if we ever downgrade to Vista we don't have to buy a site license. We've already paid. My company can afford license compliance... -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
