Yes, quite abit like trying to buy the correct Vista version and the
appropriate licenses for MS Server 2003 with File/Terminal Client/Device
access licenses then. And the Clearing house delay of upto 2 weeks can
be ludicrous.
Ive not had a chance to write and speak to Peter Scargill I would point
out this is not the first time he has reviewed open source software.
Anyway I would like to pass you this comment from the client
"
I am not at all technically minded and I have been
using Ubuntu now for 2 weeks and I am finding it
incredibly easy and user friendly. Initially I was
nervous about making the change and because it took me
a while to master Windows and Outlook Express I didn't
want the hassle of learning something new.
Nik gave me a quick and simple lesson on how to use it
and left me to experiment (safe in the knowledge that
I could call him if I needed to). I was up and running
confidently and quickly and have had no problems at
all. it is fantastic.

Same delivery, different platform . The Difference? This client will never experience vendor lock in.
Cheers
