Before I went that route, I'd make damn sure it was necessary.  Outside 
of internal or really customized software, there's something in the 
Linux world that will replace the Windows based solution.

Sure, I've heard complaints about the email/calendar/shared drive crap, 
but the bottom line, who the hell uses that stuff?  I've been through 
three organizations who tried and gave up.  Just like my wife, you'll 
never get her off her little paper calendar in her purse.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
