Umm, wrong calculation. 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.
