I don't even care if this is true or not, the settlement is allowing
microsoft set the cost of .9bil of the costs.  Thats just sick!

At least cig. companies have costs.  Microsoft will most likely give
preinstalled machines with one set of install media for the whole lot.

And then even, its not scalable, cause to really scale a w2k based
network you should at least have a DC and stuff.  And even then, they
might just give them XP home, which would mean they are totally screwed
for expanding without spending lots of money. (xp home cant join
domains)
