It doesn't support fully DOCX (The WW Standatd of Office Documents Open XML) .. Open Source don't spend alot of efforts to integrate their OS's with other OS's when it comes to file integration and vitualization, while Microsoft has a promise to do that (Look at Novel and Microsoft when it comes to interoperability labs) - At the End of the day, Innovation will continue, and we will see all parties are doing more and more innovation that will resolve most of the end user challenges in current versions. Cheers, MZ As an IT Manager/CIO i need to think of this:

- Support 24/7 Availability
- Compatibility
- Collaboration
- Productivity
- Multilingual (In My region Arabic comes first)
- Clear Roadmap (Open Source lacks this point by all means)

Forget the nasty OpenOffice i have downloaded the latest Alpha release and It SUCKS, Huge wide difference between Microsoft Office and OpenOffice, since MS Office has Seamless Environment Support (SharePoint is fully integrated with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, Visio, InfoPath, Exchange, Office Communition Server, PictureIt, .. It doesn’t support fully DOCX (The WW Standatd of Office Documents Open XML) .. Open Source don’t spend alot of efforts to integrate their OS’s with other OS’s when it comes to file integration and vitualization, while Microsoft has a promise to do that (Look at Novel and Microsoft when it comes to interoperability labs)

- At the End of the day, Innovation will continue, and we will see all parties are doing more and more innovation that will resolve most of the end user challenges in current versions.

Cheers,
MZ

For instance, try OpenOffice and to move around documents and spreadsheets with Microsoft Office computers. Not. There is a long way before quitting on some Windows OS for the average user who needs something else that the world is cannot accept thus far.

Three weeks in and it's only virtue is that it was pre-installed. Vista isn’t so much an OS as a platform for delivering nagware. Three weeks in and it’s only virtue is that it was pre-installed.

It's also the best system when it comes to backward compability (some MS-DOS-days apps still run on Vista, a gap of 25 years!). Backward compability is an important point for corporation even if it means a "bloated" OS. Conclusion : Vista isn't an OS, it's an ecosystem! Beat that...

Importance of hardware (Intel v.

Very interesting read. I think Neal Stephenson has done the best expanding on this point that John made.
