MS offers licence fee FINANCING!

Fri, 28 Jun 2002 16:45:16 -0400

This is from an e-newsletter I get from MS, as I deal with them in my
professional life.  I have clipped away most of it.  I laughed about this
part, though.  I think they are shooting themselves in the foot, which is good
for Linux.
