Microsoft adjusted its licensing terms for the Maxtor system, Wilkins noted.
Unlike general-purpose servers, a Maxtor machine doesn't require that
customers pay for client access licenses--the fees often required for
computers that use the server.
"That's the first time Microsoft has done this," Wilkins said.

This is a victory for the Open Source community, not a defeat. Microsoft is
willing to bleed for real big customers, because they realize that Maxtor
had a choice. At some point in the future Microsoft is going to be willing
to bleed for little customers also.
