somebody should be thinking about them. And they
should definitely be a
factor when choosing software.
That being said, you and your company should know
that—unlike some Linux
vendors—*Microsoft provides customers with uncapped
monetary protection
against intellectual property suits.* And this isn't
some extra
protection package that you need to buy into; it's
just the way we do
business.
