Sorry if this hijacks the discussion, i've not been totally following the thread. But I quickly wanted to add one point replying this message. I am not sure if Basker is doing this for a living. Companies do whatever they do for a living. If Basker does so for a living, I really want to get some first-hand experience working with him (its a delicate balance and if he does it I'd love to learn it from him, otherwise unintended pun in that sentence be excused!). I am a little surprised the company that quoted 7.5 for support actually won the contract when MS prod+suport was only 3L more. But then that is what it is. Linux and GNU could be passion but I am not sure how many times passions also serve food. Ok, it probably does not reply the message. Just my thought.
