MSFT is suppose to have a free "XP upgrade" for thier ernterprise customers that bought when it was originally released. The free upgrade was within a certain time limit, and I don't think it will come to market in time. So I think thier pissing off some cusomers right now, since they will be asking those customers to pay for an upgrade they were expecting at no cost. RHAT is a serious threat right now too. I know several key employees that have been flying away from that nest lately...
