			This week's poll: July 31 approaches! Where do you stand on Microsoft Licensing 6.0? We're ready. We're still taking stock of what software we have. We haven't decided yet if we're going to get with this program. What a mess! We have no clue what we've got or what we're going to do. We're not entering any agreements. If we pay too much, so be it.
