Ballmer should open his eyes

It is also quite funny that Balm think that he can rely on the network of all MS professionnal and certified partners for adding value to its products. I'm nearly MCSE (still one exam to take, but I'm kind of reluctant) and thank to these certification I can more efficiently tell customers that MS products are just good to loose time and money.
I know some of their products quite well, and I still have to loose a lot of time on them to make them work more or less "normally" even in a full microsoft environment. This of course is bad both for us (we earn less money because we loose time solving problems which should never exist) and for the customers who get less efficient results than expected.
So I'm waiting that most people open their eyes and start using better products. That would allow me to do a better and more satisfying job, and that would allow customers to have globally better and more efficient architecture on their network. Failing to do that for merre marketing and buzz-words reasons would mean the loss of so much intellectual energy in the world that I can not imagine anybody would want that to happen.
