US businesses can't avoid Vista

The way Microsoft control and sell to the market alone would account for the percentages.

The headline could just as easily be "US businesses go through pointless IT pain to make donations to Microsoft shareholders", but of course that doesn't give the impression to the sheep that they should follow suit.

As long as Europe continues to develop an IT supercentre, and we push Open Source within our boundaries, then I really don't care what the US does.

What the US will end up with is a nation of clickers for "IT administrators", which doesn't bode well for them down the road. They'll have to learn the hard way.

Europe can quietly continue with its best of breed developers and enjoy the benefits of the Open Source ecosystem.
