Brilliant move by BRILLIANT company...
My rep came in with "smoking gun" evidence to prove his point. I invited our Intellectual Property lawyers to see it because I am always being hounded about why I refuse to deploy Linux. After looking at the case, our attorneys were obviously moved because they started laughing uncontrollably. They must have realized how smart I was to stop Open Source at the Gates and were just showing how relieved they were. It just goes to show, Microsoft makes and the Open Source world takes.
