I beleive I hear the scraping noise of furniture being re-arranged on the 
Titanic. It is hard to tell if the movement is motivated by the decorators,
or the steadily increasing angle of the deck and the effects of gravity.

You will find that Microsoft, like so many large organizations with premium 
priced products before it, will have a very hard time giving up those markups
and payment model to match.

Moving to advocacy....
