From the article:
"Although evangelism is perfectly acceptable and often desirable when applied to that of unbending faith in God, the same approach applies less often to a business culture where logic, politics, and doing lunch rule."

From my experience, business culture applies the last two liberally and generally dispenses with the first one. Also, the 'illogic of evangelism' sure doesn't seem to stop most executives and managers from genuflecting toward Redmond each day... it reminds me very much of laws in certain countries that make it illegal to switch religions.
