A few times before I was there, they tried to go to SAP and NT; all attempts failed. Twice while I was there they tried to go to NT; both times failed. All attempts to get major parts of the business off their competitor's boxen have failed so far. (Like getting their Order Entry Management system off several Tandem Computers, sold to Compaq in 1997 and now part of HP/Compaq. Still processing every dollar of revenue from North America on them TODAY as we speak.)

At least this way it's their hardware, and it's NOT an OS by M$. Looks like Mikey is finally growing a spine and pulled the leash off his neck.
