Dear All, > > http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-5009496.html?tag=lh > <quote> Microsoft adjusted its licensing terms for the Maxtor system, Wilkins noted. 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. </quote> 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.
