I have recently discovered how computer shops are getting around retail licencesing for windows, they are buying site licences and installing them on customers computers so they are buying site licences for their internet cafe but actually installing them on repaired computers. How are we supposed to compete when companies are using illegal methods to keep costs down. When you show they for example the true cost of Microsoft Windows Ultimate, plus Microsoft Office Small Business and even add in the cost of Adobe Design Suite - their knees buckle - but still they will not even consider stocking linux - if they advertise linux they will loose custom. -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Bolton Linux 24 Vincent Street Bolton BL1 4SA Tel: +44(0)1204 410474 Mob: +44(0)7868 028028 www.bolin.org.uk Distributing openSUSE in the UK Registered Linux User: 529825 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
