up to four physical processors or $199 for an unlimited number of
processors. The announcements were made in conjunction with the
LinuxWorld conference in Boston this week.

IBM was blocked from doing that very thing many years ago, but with
"friends" in the white house, Gates need not worry about being
similarly blocked.
