Microsoft unwilling to budge on one-price policy

ZDNet UK - News: "'When governments and companies move away from the emotional debate around open source and look at the business value, most will choose to go with a commercial solution,'"

The arrogance of entrenched power.

These governments are not making emotional decisions. Nor are they making purely commercial ones.

They are servicing their constituents needs in the most cost-effective manner possible.

It's just that doesn't play into the hands of a monopolist. Eastern thinking eschews Western capitalist thinking.
