Primary Support's Chief Technology Officer, quoted in article about Microsoft's Open Value Payment Program

"It has simplified licensing and the sales math. Open Value means fewer headaches, less training for our clients who aren't necessarily tech-savvy and is easier deployment of Microsoft licenses. When it comes to less, let me tell you about one recent customer. We explained to him that Windows 2000 Server goes for about $1,000. Windows Server 2003 goes for about $1,000. Open Value goes for about $1,400. Wouldn't you spend $1,400 to get $2,000 worth of product and spread the payment over three years -- interest free?"
