Sure, but are they Windows Server or Windows 7 desktop instances?

The URL for that PDF didn't translate very well. Here is a direct link to the Microsoft SPLA Datasheet stating that Office can be licensed per processor. Any information on whether (and under what conditions) that is actually possible would be helpful: http://www.scribd.com/doc/23123212/Spla-Datasheet

Actually, there are several different Microsoft documents which say precisely that Office can be licensed per processor. However, I couldn't find anyone who had actually done it that way. So for the article I listed the license as a possibility, since I couldn't exclude it, but not a probability, since no one could confirm it. For example, the SPLA datasheet explicitly cites Office as being available per processor: download.microsoft.com/download/7/a/a/.../spla_datasheet.pdf. If you can prove that the datasheet is wrong, we can certainly update the article, otherwise the insults ring pretty hollow.--David Cardinal

FWIW, Hawkes has been involved in one way or another in just about all of the deepsea subs. For my money, Cameron is hugely ahead of the Virgin project as far as reaching insane depths, although hats off to Branson & Virgin for creating a very cool sub that would be awesome to pilot at any depth and will have plenty of value over time (most of the ocean is much shallower than the Challenger Deep). I'd be money that Cameron's team will be the one, and only one, to return to the Challenger Deep any time this decade. -- David Cardinal
