This is the only thing that will change MS. >I say let M$ make their changes, the rest of the world are not fools, >especially the bean counters, and after all if you want to make a change, >save the bean counters a couple of beans and you have got their support! Unfortunately, companies that can/will switch are still in relatively small numbers. The small guys (say 10, 100, perhaps even 1000 people) that simply don't have the internal resources to 'do their own thing' are going to have a hard time ditching MS - and so MS has them by the short and curlies (as a british expression goes !). It's getting easier, but MS know that it isn't easy enough yet - and they are going to put as many spokes in the open source worlds' bike wheels as they can (I think this may well just be one of those sticks).
