A little simple reasoning

... is enough to reveal what's going on. Let's try.

Quote: "Anything you can do with Microsoft servers, clients, Office, and dot.net technologies I can do better [i.e. at some combination of greater functionality, lower risk, and lower cost] using the standard LAMP/SAMP toolset with emphasis on OpenOffice and the Apache cluster."

Let's assume the above is true. Now with LAMP solution stack being totally free while M$ tools carrying a non-trivial price tag, LAMP should have easily blown M$ dev tools away in the IT industry, right? The reality shows that's not happening, so the assumption must be false.

See, that simple. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out. But then I can tell you don't have much development experience, it therefore is understandable you wrote a frankly laughable article thinking LAMP has a game against M$ development strength.
