'Free' and Microsoft in the same sentence makes it an oxymoron. Even 'free' and Google (or any other company) gets me wondering.
Google's model is usually 'we will put some adds on your ..(drug dejour)..' Microsoft is more like Gillette, give away the razor, sell the blades. (upgrades, continuing certification, etc) Not always, but often. Apple, IBM, DEC (now HP) have all been known for their 'educational discounts' in the past... Train the new techies/executives on your proprietary toys, they are more likely to spec them when they get in a position of power when the hair starts to grey. This is just another marketing ploy from M$. I just like to know the real reasons and where the money is flowing before I believe in them as the tooth fairy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
