Microsoft BIFs it up

In order to avoid organizations from migrating to Linux, Microsoft is giving away its products at
throwaway prices.
Recently, a BFSI customer had called for quotes from leading systems integrators for a $1 million project that it wanted to deploy on Linux platform. Learning about it, Microsoft approached one of the systems integrators (who is also a Microsoft partner) bidding for the project to quote Microsoft solution at a price that the BFSI customer couldn’t resist. Eventually, the partner won the bid for Microsoft solution at a final quote that was even lesser than the Linux solution.
It is learnt that Microsoft used the instrument of Business Investment Fund (BIF)—the fund meant for business development in strategic verticals—to heavily discount the solution. If sources are to be believed, Microsoft gave a 30 percent rebate on the $1 million project.
