Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,24060,00.html?st.ne.fd.gif.j Anyone else read the story at www.news.com on SCO cutting costs by nuking its shrink wrapped copies of SCO and moving to an all on-line system? I wonder what that does to a commercial entity? I mean if MS started only selling copies of NT or 9x on-line downloadable over the net, what would happen to their dominating margin? It would probably be destroyed. Just curious if anyone else read the article and what they thought. I know it works well for us :-) Chris -- "Linux...
