At which point you stop E-Mail and put everything in writing via registered mail, through the lawyers. And you tell Microsoft, "Since you feel it's necessary for AWC to place itself under your Software Asset Management program, AWC will be happy to comply. However, this is a program for your benefit, not ours; and complying will necessarily require involvement from our staff. All AWC staffers who are required to assist you in any way will be billed at the rate of $250/hour. We require a prepayment retainer pool be paid in the amount of $50,000 to an escrow service, and when this pool is reduced by 90% all efforts must cease until it is replenished. Thank you." -- Dave Ihnat dihnat@xxxxxxxxxx
