MS already takes plenty of our money. For upgrades to products that don’t change but still cost several hundred a seat.
Don’t push yer luck.
Info like when will MSFT enable GAL access for R6?
Or maybe when why does a data plan from most carriers cost more for MSFT devices than for RIMM devices?
Or how about, when will the R6 upgrade be available for the Treo 700WX?
