Interesting, if MS became aware that say few large city that currently 
use MSO were considering LO they might make FUD attacks on LO. I do not 
know exactly how the MS support agreements work (I would assume 
something like $x / person for a years with option to renew) but non 
renewal would be a very good indication someone is switching to 
something else.
