So *all* you are saying is that they should standardize on the *cheapest*
available product? 

David, that's breathtaking in its shortsightedness.

I don't even know where to begin to plug the wholes in that argument, as
there are a thousand gushing holes. But one should suffice: If that's the
sole criterion, then why do we *not* have Linux or Unix variants that are
'free,' dominating the enterprise OS scene?

The bad news for you is that if large orgs 'standardize' on those, you won't
be able to enjoy your Visio. :-)
