I await with baited breath to read a review where they describe the Microsoft solution as "good
for a Microsoft shop". The implication being that you wouldn't use it otherwise.

It's almost there. It's amazing to live through another sea change in this industry. Microsoft has
benefitted from most, but this one must be scary for them.

What really surprised me is the study comparing IBM Mainframe with linux to MS servers. Like,
why? If they are that concerned about losing sales to IBM, they have a real problem.
