I have just two feelings about this thing:
1) Daniel Mintz wants some bribe from Microsoft to upgrade, or
2) Daniel Mintz wants some bribe from Microsoft to upgrade.

I don't why but I am feeling as though Mr. Mintz is clearly asking for some kind of favour from Microsoft. "Give me something and I'll buy your product". This statement mentioning Novell Linux and Macintosh in the same paragraph with "compatibility" just doesn't piece together into something palatable for me. And then talking about "security implications"? I mean wtf? On paper, Vista looks like the most secure Microsoft OS till date and he doesn't want to upgrade by giving that as a reason? Well...what can I say? Either we have a crazy CIO in the picture or a greedy one. My guts say...its the latter.
