first of all, WRONG!
http://news.walla.co.il/ts.cgi?tsscript=item&path=4&id=130966
and second of all, although microsoft charges outrageous sums, it their
software to charge money on, and its WRONG to steal it, although many israeli
companies don't give a shit.
Linux is the correct alternative for those organizations, period.
If you can't pay the bills, settle for something free.

Just wanted to dispell one myth.
It appears (I am neither a lawyer, nor have I researched this myself. If
you rely solely on what I say, you are both a fool and incredibly naive)
that the BSA is just a dummy organization, whose job is to perform three
basic functions:
A. Scare you by advertising, gestapo like, in the media.
B. Scare you by sending you leafletts, whether you deserve them or not.
C. Sell you the software once you are scared enough to call them.
It APPEARS that they are not performing any actual raids, as that would
be both too expensive, and would make them REALLY unpopular.
