The US Department of Justice would probably have a fit*. I think MS side stepped it by buying into Comcast years ago. * Its hard to tell what will draw the ire of DoJ. Economic terrorism (US Financial Industry) appears OK. Anti-competitive practices, such as controlling both the hardware and software (Apple), appears OK. But bundling a browser with the OS (Microsoft) is out of bounds. And gaming TicketMaster's system (WiseGuy Tickets) will get a PATRIOT Act like response.

Windows looks good value to begin with, but as the number grow... One place I worked had thousands of tills that connected for updates. We ended up by processor-based licenses for the servers instead. On 28 September 2010 19:37, Ivan Carlos <icarlos () icarlos net> wrote:Its something wrong there.

Cals are needed if you access any kind of service hosted within a windows server platform. Consider it like a bubble within a bubble. The outer bubble is windows server and the innwr the 3rd party software. While they have nothing linking them, you still need to go through the outer shell. I do think that you chould purchase a corecal for all clients. This covers any windows server and windows based services.Pretty nice business model, ain't it? First you pay for a server, and then you pay *again* so you can actually use the server that you already paid for. It never ceases to amaze me how customers put up with that.
