I'm in no way trying to rant... so please know this is light and curious. :)
I'm curious what you mean by non transferrable?? I can take any server I have, take it out of commission, replace with a completely new server and use the same license. That is transferrable. If you mean XP Home and "14 days to activate" yes, that's transferrable, but not without some hassles, re-activation, and maybe even having to call Microsoft customer care. Anyway, I'm just upset that I'm stuck with Exchange so I'm stuck with Microsoft and ADS anyway. laters, David McD On 4/21/05, Brian Henning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I liked the part where they mention lowering TCO. > > This coming from the folks that charge you for the server software. > Then charge you for a non-transferrable license for each computer you > want to connect to it at all.
