down for the count

[Kirk Wood]

Actually, many times you do end up paying for a M$ liscence anyway, but at
least your making a statement about it. You see M$ offers (or used to
offer) a lower cost per lisense if one was purchased for every machine
produced. This was supposed to be on account of easier auditing. But the
US government called it monopoly manipulation. I don't know if M$
continues the practice or if Dell is bound by such a deal. Again, part of
the M$ stratagy of hiding what companies pay for a lisense so they can
shaft some.
