Ah yes. I'd forgotten about the monopoly that vehicle ERP (and like) system vendors have and they all seem to use Windows in some form. Or, they use Solaris or another expensive UNIX solution. Unfortunate. Speaking of ERPs we're looking at some and so far every one of them uses IIS and M$ SQL with the exception of Compiere, which does not include MRP (though they said they can add it - for a price).
