Mr MN USA says "When your IT person quits and leaves you sitting with a "kluge jobbed" server"

Do you think Enterprises implementing Open Source and Linux solutions are morons?

First let me say I do enjoy using some Microsoft products.

interoperability! Microsoft's primary interoperability problem is: Microsoft itself cannot and will not live with many other OS vendors, Application and Service Providers, Open Source and Knowledge Groups, etc. Meaning the basic and most fundamental requirements needed for Microsoft itself to be a supporter of interoperability total cannot be found within Microsoft. Microsoft has on occasion by its actions threaten interoperability and Bill Gates current statement in a way supports this fact. I am happy Bill choose to make this thoughts clear to the world. I assume he knows that the world has a plasticity about it that no being can halt. The Microsoft Corporation is Newtonian. Therefore the Microsoft Corporation requires great changes within it's structure to make it's way into the Quantum Realm on offer to those in the 21st Century. Bill may not realized this yet but i am sure some in his ranks do.

So I put it to you Bill, if Microsoft truly supports interoperability Microsoft will embrace the ideas, the differences and the dreams of others e.g. Linux, Open Source, Apple Corp, IBM Corp, etc.
