GTR worth getting?

If you have a site agreement with microsoft, I can't really see the issue.

And the prices of Microsoft products are not based on costs, they're based on
how much they can charge before numbers go down. It gets harder and harder to
get the loyalty and moral of customers with time that way.

How someone in his right mind can buy Office2003 for 1099 Euros while M$ reap
huge revenues is totally beyond me. It is laughable, really. Ridiculous. And
Microsoft are concerned about piracy? How hard can it be to understand, I say...

You really think that I, linux evangelist that I am, would bow down
and *pirate* Microsoft stuff???

I asked your windows support and they told me that our company
contract states that a license for home use is included.

Counting the number of windows machines I have formatted here that
only run Linux and nothing else I'd say I still have a few xp licences
to share ;-)

Just wondering: did they leave that statement on the box for the
international release? Some bloke here pretending to be a simbin dev
or at least someone close to their circles said something to the
effect that this notice would be removed for the international release
(you might want to ask google groups about it).


Cheers,

Yes it is possible for corporates to include home use of it's purchased MS
products. We had it for a while, the only constraint was that the copy of
the license had to come from a PC being 'mostly' used by the employee. In
other words if you have a PC at work that you are the main user you can use
the MS products at home.

However that did change where I worked some time later.
