    "Microsoft recognizes this and is innovating its licensing policies, product support, and a wide range of IT solutions to help customers get virtual now," he added.

    The fee-elimination program applies to 41 Microsoft server applications, including certain editions of SQL Server 2008, Exchange Server 2007, Dynamics CRM 4.0, SharePoint Server 2007, and Microsoft's System Center products.

    Under the new rules, IT managers will be allowed to port the applications back and forth between host servers as often as they want, without incurring additional costs. The program takes effect Sept. 1. Link here

    I think now MSSQL server will be cheaper in hosing business.

    What is your opinion ?
