As in the old TV series White and Black everything is twisted.
I live in an "emerging country" and the cost of a M$ license is unaffordable. Here it's almost the same to buy a computer (only Hw) than to buy a M$ license. (u$s 300 each)
Inspite what this "executive" could say, at least the hardware you can buy, it really works!!!! (and I don't have to stay 2 hours downloading a patch)
I'm sorry to tell you... Microsoft will never release all source code, but also is looking foward to destroy linux. IBM is the first BIG company that supports linux, but be carefull, it still holds the ownership of the patents.
