From Ed Foster’s Gripe Line:
Microsoft’s Software Assurance licensing program has always stood out among software maintenance plans for the unique value proposition it offers customers. You pay nearly twice as much as other vendors charge for half of what other vendors give you, and that’s if you’re lucky. And, in spite of the grab bag of additional Software Assurance benefits Microsoft announced today, that’s still pretty much the take-it-or-leave-it-deal Redmond is offering its corporate customers.
