Fancy eco-talk for "Offshore your IT group to a dam-centric Microsoft DC near you". ;-) We're seeing no uptake on this foolishness in the SMB market. Perhaps they can make a go of it in the enterprise though. -----Original Message----- From: Rod Trent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 2:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Spiceworks 3.0 Released Tough to fight since MS is promoting that doing so helps companies 'go green' by offloading unnecessary electricity and carbons.
