1.What does the user get for their $50/£50? The user gets 12 months support and updates. This excludes 3rd party packages that you may have installed (GWDG's repositories for 10.1 work a charm ;-))
2.If I want to perform OEM installs, what is the deal there? (NLD9 answers are fine, or pointers to where I can find this out myself.) To be honest I don't know. I'll try and dig out the spreadsheet that Novell sent me when NLD9 came out. 3.£100 is cheap for a non-OEM MS OS, isn't it? Just a ball park figure that I made up - I have a funny feeling it may be higher, what a surprise taht would be. 4.I would *love* MS to really clamp down on misuse of OEM licences (and piracy for that matter). Too many people get XP and MS Office "free" to make a fair comparison with Linux/OOo/etc. In all the comparisons I've seen of Vista and Linux w/XGL (eg SLED) recently they've all seemed to miss the point that Linux has a hell of a lot of applications that are extras (and expensive extras at that) on Vista. Until this happens there won't be a true comparison, regardless of which camp does the review. It would be interesting to see what the exact price difference is for a standard desktop that you would roll out to a client.
