Seriously? I don't remember the exact figures, but I believe we're paying under $30/seat for 50 licenses. It's really hard for me to believe it's not worth somewhere in the $1000/yr ballpark to have decent AV protection for your company.

He has been guest hosting on Lawrence Lessigs Blog, giving his view on the current imbalance between property right protection and the good of public access. And he has become the first presidential candidate to support "open source code" for election systems in addition to voter verified paper records. He's even personally using a twitter.
