It's not a technical problem. They don't see a financial case for it (at least for them). As far as I can tell, they are trying to reduce the number of "server" type machines they support in favor of platforms that sell more copies and thus generate more income. I don't like it, but I can see why they think that way. > Neale, would 'R' work for the customer's needs?
