If enough of us (big corporations) do it, eventually Microsoft has to listen or die.

Your company and others could try what Munich did, when they converted from Windows to LiMux (their own version of Linux).

With the exception of Active Directory (for authentication) and File/Print services, the number of Linux servers FAR outweighs the number of our Windows Servers. So "already there" in the Server space.

Desktops will be an entirely different matter since that is what users actually TOUCH and USE to be productive.
