A common reason why more governments and enterprises around the world are moving to open source software is unhappiness,... Unhappiness with a competitor's product is NOT the way to grow your business. If Linux is to thrive, it must make people happier with Linux than with other products.
It's moving that direction, and I feel that I can be much more productive on a Linux box than a MS box. But I also understand that they have to promote the product more for people to see its benefits--not just MS' shortcomings.
