Microsoft Software licensing. As home users, it's already an incomprehensible mess of legalese that nobody cares one bit about. However - we home users have it easy. The situation for business users and people managing IT departments is even worse (proprietary software, mostly, of course). Microsoft is a major culprit in this regard, and while the company acknowledges that the situation is messy, they claim they can't really do anything about it.

That is a pile of crap!

In what way is it a pile of crap? An example was asked for and I provided one. Was my example somehow incorrect?

How about we do the following. We charge 650 for each, and we get the magic number of 1300.

And there will still be someone who has one production server and two failover servers who now has to pay 1950 for what used to cost them 1600. I can't see them being very happy.
