I agree. I'm not even sure why they are doing this. While it is certainly possible I don't understand what they mean by charging $10,000/year and $1,500/year per .NET app, the problem I have is, if I can't understand how much it's going to cost me just to write an app on .NET, how the heck can I build a business app on it? I was speaking with one Microsoft rep in e-mail, and I made the comment that I was going to have to hire someone just to figure out all these licensing issues, handle product activiation, and compliance things, and the person responded: > ROFLMAO! She didn't realize I wasn't making a joke. Kyle Lussier www.AutoNOC.com
