At the end of the day, linux is great - but the only real programming
language that's viable for it is C++ (yes, OK - there's mono, but the main
thing about .NET is building RAD applications, and that means intellisense,
wizards, etc. - it's the MS IDE that does it for windows development) - which
I'm sure we'd all have a much more fun time doing, but at the end of the day
people there are always going to be beencounters that want to see results in
Excel. They can on windows, so they'll not accept a system in which they
can't.
Corporate mass server systems and backends might benefit though, but most of
them probably don't scare Microsoft much, because they probably already do
use either unix or linux.
