How will the Microsoft police take this one?

Microsoft and its software police tell you that you have to have your house in order. They have the law on their side when you get pressured to inventory your software and their licenses. Given that they take the moral highground and argue that time spend on this inventory is time well spend, I would think it reasonable when they DO provide the tools to cover their licenses with this and ANY tool.

As the inventory may also be needed on systems that are wholy linux based (do not wine..), they cannot argue that Microsoft OS based tools would suffice.
