Well hey atleast they're not converting to Mac's:thumbs: They may not be but these guys have:) July 16, 2007 (Computerworld) -- It's little things like the small silver Apple logo on CIO Dale Frantz’s crisp white shirt that signal the sea change in the works at Auto Warehousing Co.Over the next 60 days, AWC will begin systematically pulling the plug on all Windows-based PCs in its cavernous auto processing shop and power up Macs to execute virtually all of its revenue-generating operations. The move comes on the heels of a quiet wholesale replacement of Windows-based servers for data storage and Web operations, which are now running on Apple Inc.’s Xserve RAID machines. computerworld.com |

I am sure MS are not too happy about losing 20000 licenses and in a years time it might be another 20000. It all starts adding up to be bad news for MS and an indication that Vista is not showing up as a value for money upgrade. |
