The state of enterprise Linux (ZDNet)

ZDNet is carrying a Gartner pronouncement on the future of Linux in the enterprise. "Microsoft will be pressured to change strategies by enabling easier integration and interoperability, and encouraging more open-source-software ports to Windows and .Net. We believe Microsoft will resist these pressures--it will not port Office to Linux--as it attempts to get buy-in by enterprise CIOs for the .Net framework. But the tide has already turned: Most large enterprises are looking for flexibility, leverage, and lower-cost alternatives and believe they have more options in the server world than on the desktop."
