| Not so long ago Hamburg based pharmaceutical company Klosterfrau bought
| 600 licenses of long forgotten Office 97, and then resold them to
| another company Susensoftware.

| The only problem of course: expired product support. Microsoft
| phased out mainstream support for its Windows 2000 client and
| server releases on June 30 2005.

Munich is gradually moving to Debian, so it won't need these licences for
