It's has to do with Ownership perception. If I go to them and say I want to buy system wide virus protection that will be more efficient but it will cost $XXX.XX thousand dollars, all they will hear is "THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS". If I go and say that I spent $50.00 on a onesy twosey basis, they don't blink. Its a question of having something rather than 'nothing'. Previous, battles have been Marketing hijacking the Email system altering to their own specs, melting down a proxy server, and infesting the network with hundreds of virus's and thousands of spam's because they would listen about filtering practices. Everybody, thinks they know better.
