Microsoft gives licences away for free
Found on The Inquirer on Sunday, 06 June 2004
Software firm Microsoft has announced that it is giving away free software licences.
The free licence only applies to computers that remain switched off.
The offer only applies to cold servers that stay switched off until they are needed and are only available if you are signed up to Microsoft's Software Assurance licensing programme.
We wonder if Microsoft's next cunning plan will be to extend its radical free licence program to computers and servers that haven't been built yet.
They finally see the point: the safest MS computers are those which do not run.
