Strangely, I tend to deal with companies that don't care about the 'MS tax', no matter how much it is. In fact, they don't trust software that doesn't come with an expensive support contract. I think most of you would faint if you saw the size of the annual bill that a lot of large companies pay to Microsoft. ----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
