Re: MS licensing vs.OSS
"The cost of licence managing / accounting is a huge part of the cost of licensing for larger organisations. The overhead in dedicated procurement teams / asset management is significant. Then you pay for consultancy / outsourced expertise to sort out problems with your asset management / licensing management software. That's on top of costs for patch management / badly written third party software"
Sounds like Magic Carpet and that mess from OSS.
It's much simpler in the Microsoft World. SCCM produces a standard licensing report and it takes only a few man days each year to reconcile and price with your Microsoft EA reseller.
