Interesting to see them try that.

I recall the business interest in XP was lukewarm at very best. I would surmise that most of the reason XP is on any corporation PC is because that what the laptop came with. Even I was surprised by the fact that where I currently work the standard desktop build is NT4!

Microsoft is going to find it tough to push corps to Longhorn et al. And those that do will be spending a fortune to do it.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

No they won't

Large early adopters get sweetheart deals and good support to manufacture case studies. Once the case studies are published, MS can start unveiling the real price.
