To sum it all up: NT licensing will make your head spin, then hurt, and by the time it's done with you your eOpen license will be expired and it's time to renew (or upgrade to the latest version of NT), and you may start the process anew. As for linux...unlimited users at no cost, but limited support options (PHB's like support contracts, and they're not all bad...) Don't forget the support contracts from vendors who do dumb shit like base your yearly support contract on a presentage the MSRP of their current shipping version even if you are behind the curve. And up that percentage from 10 to 15% without notifiny you. There's probally a clause in our orignial contract that says they can pull that, at least I can say this crap was in place before I started. I've been dealing with MS licensing for the past month, and I still don't get it. That's costly. -- Andrew S. Zbikowski | http://www.ringworld.org With a name like Zbikowski, you've gotta be good.
