-Samrobb <http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=17300643> Microsoft Offers Linux-Interoperability Software For Free Jan. 13, 2004 Microsoft has decided to drop the $99 licensing fee previously required for its Services For Unix software and plans to make a new version of the interoperability product available this week at no cost on its Web site. ...
