Microsoft Unbundles Software For NY City

Posted by samzenpus on from the take-another-little-piece-of-my-software dept.

doishmere writes "Microsoft has agreed to sell individual pieces of software to NY City workers, rather than forcing each seat to buy a full suite of software. The city has created three classes of users based on which pieces of software they need to perform their job, and Microsoft will sell software packages tailored to each class at a reduced price."

    It looks like you're shilling for Microsoft. Would you like to:

    * Talk about how Microsoft solutions are enterprise ready
    * Bash Google and/or Apple for no apparent reason
    * Mention the hidden costs of open source
    * Cleverly forget to mention Microsoft disasters such as Bob, the Zune, Windows Mobile, or Vista

    Just once I would like to see a +5 accusation of shilling include a solid rebuttal.
