Re: OT: message from Microsoft
READ! Never mind whether I agree with James Finstrom or not... (I might, but that is outside the scope of this [OT] message); more importantly, ... double check that ad!; its FIRST bullet point, is: *Develop Cheaper and Faster** – *Use additional Microsoft software licenses internally for your development and training needs. Hello! An ad from Red Hat would not be [caught dead!] touting any kind of volume discounts (or any other kind of discounts, or special deals) on * **software licenses! *Hello! They might advertise the fact that their software does not *require* any licenses (and hence, no DRM... etc etc etc)... [but there is a] BIG difference! -- Mike Schwartz Glendale AZ schwa...@acm.org On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 8:25 PM, James Finstrom jfinst...@rhinoequipment.com wrote: Yeah it is...
