Well, about a year ago, when a client of mine wanted to switch, they
said essentially what John said.  Nope.  No way.

Since their support exposure doesn't seem to change much, I don't know
that I see how they can justify that, in a fashion I as a
businessperson consider reasonable... and indeed, when said customer
twisted their arm, they allowed as how they'd cut them a discount...

since we had to upgrade their license count from 32 to 64 for their 6
person office (see license counting rants on this list from last year :-)
