Comment MS Licensing will have an impact on Small Business (Score 1) 383
Being perfectly serious here.
A friend of mine is involved in a similar project in a rural part of the UK. The predict that once XP-style licensing (and it gets worse in Longhorn) is unavoidable for Windows users, then most small business will start having to use non-MS systems.
The average small business cannot afford legal MS software. If MS make piracy impossible, small business will have to find alternatives. Why not get in early: "Running a Small Business Cheaper with Free Software" would be a good title
