I bet you anything they're in some contract with MS and will have to pay the
subscription rates anyway even if they dump MS. They did this of course to
get a lower yearly rate on the subscription. Also, it's what everybody that
works on the stuff already knows and they don't want to spend money on
re-training the staff.

With that said, good luck to you :)
