For the record, when we first started out we did contact Microsoft and told them what we wanted to accomplish. On our third attempt to contact them, we did receive a response. They offered us Windows XP SP1 at 50 dollars a license. So if we were going to rely upon Microsoft to partner with us in this effort, we wouldn’t be able to do 10 computers a year. Not at those licensing costs. Of course, we went on to discover that unless their name is blazed across the sky as The Hero… Microsoft couldn’t care less.
