| In late February, a client of Solbrekk Business Technology Solutions
| bought seven PCs as part of a $50,000 project and decided to try Vista
| on one of the machines. Three hours into the job, he decided there were
| too many compatibility issues with the company's antivirus software
| and a third-party logistics application. So Joann Evans, Solbrekk
| senior account executive, opted to use XP. But after several
| frustrating hours trying to reach people at an OEM distributor
| and then Microsoft to obtain a downgrade license, she gave up and
| purchased a new XP Pro license for her client--with her own money.
