My company is getting audited by Microsoft on Monday, so I need to go out and physically touch 90 computers and document all of the Microsoft software that is installed and find and prove the validity of the licenses. My love of Linux is multiplying by the minute...I have no problem paying for software, but I do have issues with paying for it 5 times.
1) Windows client license (WinXP)
2) Windows Server Client Access License (so #1 is legally allowed to talk to #3)
3) Windows Server License (W2k3)
4) MS Exchange License (Exchange 2003)
5) MS Exchange Client Access License (so #1 can legally talk to #4)
Why the heck would anyone buy a server OS unless they were going to connect clients to it?@!?!!@@!!@@#$%@$#%@%##@$%^@#$%^$#^#@$^
