Since you bought the machines already with MS license, then you can re-use it with win4lin since the machine has been formatted with Linux, and you still have the Windows license. And as I said before - if you don't have a complete solution for the switch, then stick to what you got. If you're linux solution fits your department - then move. -- Hetz Ben Hamo hetz@kde.org _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
