How about having to retain legal staff to assure that you are not in
violation of some EULA that can change arbitrarily with any uupgrade?
How about being subject to the charge that you are in violation of
licensing, and having to perform a complete software audit of your
company to prove that you aren't? These aren't made-up scenarios,
either; they are the reality of working with Microsoft, the company
that sued public-schools that use Macs to make them pay for Windows
licenses for each Mac they had.
