We didn't pay Microsoft when we put the machines together ourselves, 
either. But when we needed to move beyond a onsey-twosey purchasing 
situation, we weren't about to hire an assembly line. That was when we 
discovered the "Microsoft Tax". 

And just for the record, our choice of Linux (and not Microsoft) was a 
matter of stability and dependability, not price.
