All this anti-Microsoft stuff is, in reality, the politics of envy. MS make excellent products and just about everyone buys them. That tells you something about the end-user market and its decision on this issue. Let's face it, if open source software was so good, given that it is cheaper (even free in some cases), people (and business in particular) would use it instead. After all, there are plenty of crap office "suites" to bolt on to you inferior Linux OS if you want to, cheaper than the much better MS offerings. But they don't. Ever stopped to wonder why?
