I disagree MaD, while MS is huge and considered a monopoly it is not protected by anyone (just look at the number of ant-trust lawsuits brought against it). Also Microsoft provides an enormous amount of support to its customers, something Telkom seems intent on avoiding at all costs.

Also time to whip out the old adage "Don't knock it 'till you've tried it" [;)]
