My own company bought Office 97 & 2000 licenses thru the Open License program about 2 years ago. After all, we wanted to be legal about things. Imagine our surprise when we got a letter just like the one Virginia Beach got. And the tone of the letter makes it sound like they're about to have SWAT teams busting down our doors.
What infuriates me the most is that we decided to go with their MSOL program because we thought that would handle their questions about us. If we'd just bought individual CD's and never sent in the cards, we wouldn't be concerned about this. Now, it looks like we're headed toward spending time and money we don't have to perform an audit that's totally useless to us. Thanks a lot, MS. Bringing Linux on-line with our network is starting to look better all the time.
