Just a few weeks ago, responding to a SearchWin2000 poll, only one out of ten of you said you were signing up for 6.0 while four out of ten said, no deal. The rest of you were just plain ambivalent. But that was then. Today -- with just a few days remaining before the deadline to enroll expires -- we want to know what side of the fence our members are on. What did your company decided to do about volume licensing? Did you sign on the dotted line? Take our quickie poll and help us determine the fate of this complex and contentious program. There are just two choices: Yes we did. Or, no we did not. But if you're feeling more loquacious, tell us the reasons behind your decision. Send us an email and then look for the results in an upcoming news story. Thanks in advance for your help.
