Hey everyone,

Has anyone got some real numbers I could quote on the costs associated
with the change to Microsoft's new Software Assurance licensing plan?

I've heard, but I can't recall where, that the new subscription-based
system is based on the the number of machines in the organization that
*could* run Windows, not on the number that actually do. IOW, you'd have
to pay license fees for a room full of Linux-powered desktop computers.
Can anyone confirm that?

-Tim
