Unlike general-purpose servers, a Maxtor machine doesn't require that customers pay for client access licenses--the fees often required for computers that use the server. "That's the first time Microsoft has done this," Wilkins said. This is a victory for the Open Source community, not a defeat. Microsoft is willing to bleed for real big customers, because they realize that Maxtor had a choice. At some point in the future Microsoft is going to be willing to bleed for little customers also.
