  Who gave Microsoft control of your IT costs? You did
Time: 01:51 EST/06:51 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson

In response to my recent column about Forgent's belated JPEG patent claim, ZDNet reader Steve Fischer wondered, with some sarcasm, how I could be so critical of Forgent, while I let Microsoft off the hook for what he considered to be an equally extortionist act: a new licensing plan. So, what I'm about to say may not sit well with most of you: More power to Microsoft. In fact, more power to any company that manages to hook its customers on proprietary features.
