No, true. Niche market products, do not compete with windows.
Mac & Linux on the desktop aren't there. Not debating technical abilities, just stating the fact. The width and depth of applications aren't there for the general computing population.
Name me a good e-mail server that offers all the functionality of say... Exchange? There are none. While some emulate some of exchanges features, they do not integrate in the same enterprise login and have the same abilities, specially at the corp level.
As for server... Same thing. Try making Linux/Unix work across a WAN with using the same user name and password, that is centrally controlled/managed and changed. Are there possibly solutions? Yep. Have I ever actually seen them in the corp world? Nope.... wonder why?
They Linux/Mac world needs less fanbois and more IT people. Then, it stands a chance to replace MS. And let me tell you... I am counting the days until MS has some real competition. They need it, and we need it.
As I've said before, I use Linux on a dailiy basis now, so I'm not a MS fanboi. Heck I'm trying to figure out how to get my laptop running Suse to connect to my Nortel VPN's) |
