Re: Can anyone tell me the price for SAS on PC and Linux?

Hello Thomas and other SAS-L friends,

At SUGI 30, one of the fine persons staffing the LE demo area remarked that
if you were to license the products incorporated in the Learning Edition,
you'd spend about $6,000. That sounds about right for a first-year license
Windows license. Linux is treated as a server class and would cost much
more. Of course, if you cared to spend $6,000, you'd be able to work with
more than 1,000 observations ;-)
