A monopoly doesn't last forever, and they certainly don't have any sort of monopoly on the server market.

Oh, I feel a lot better about Microsoft now. Thanks. If they have their way with Palladium they WILL have a monopoly on the server market, financial market, transaction market, and any other online market you care to discuss. It is true that monopolies don't last forever but Microsoft's has already lasted long enough to fuck billions of dollars out of the public. Their future plans make what they have already done look amateur.

The new software licensing model just means that people are paying for what they use...

So you're saying there's nothing wrong with forcing businesses to pay up front for what they might not want to use, with the alternative being they have to pay a lot more for only the things they do want to use? Sounds like the mafia to me - pay them now or pay them later, but you WILL pay them.

Please pull your head out - it smells better and you might think more clearly... and drop the blinkers crap. Alternatively, you could just start working at Microsoft in their Marketing department - you would fit right in.
