OK - now no egg-throwing just because I'm working down the road... ;)
I thought the PC support community might be interested in this:
- Here at UofM they have some very large negotiated contract with Microsoft for
licensing rates which are incredible:

- The schools (apparently) pay some type of money to the University, and in
return can run all sorts of stuff on any desktop they want (see $0* items), and
server licensing is great too:

I'm not sure how much the Schools are paying for this, but it certainly
streamlines the auditing bit - just thought I'd pass it along... Hope everyone
is having fun at MSU - I saw the wireless networking discussions coming up :)
take care,
