I saw this part and thought it was interesting.

Microsoft's server products have never been seriously considered by AOL, according to our insiders. "The licenses cost too much, their hardware requirements are excessive, they take too much labor to maintain, and we have enough security problems of our own without adding Microsoft's," says an AOL bean-counter who has access to the company's server cost numbers.

How true, I'm very surprised that AOL doesn't have these false senses of economy that so many seem have. Who would have thunk it! (still don't like or trust them though)

TCO .... Bah! PR FUD

I think that M$ has been very, very damaged over the last few months. IBM, HP and even DELL seem to be abandoning the Redmond beast with great haste. I made a predictiction a few years ago that M$ would be finished within 5 years, I still have 3 years to go.... I may even have time to spare   ;)
