- With collaberative suites like Zimbra....

why pay MS a dime. Even the smallest IT departments from 1 person on up can install Zimbra on a Linux box, spend $1000 or less on the hardware(for small business, a little more fore medium size business), set it up and walk away and forget it. It will provide all the collaboration any size company needs for the price of the hardware. Then keep all the money you would pay Microsoft in your bank account.
With the OSS offerings today, any company is foolish to spend proprietary $ amounts and get ABSOLUTELY NO MORE productivity or efficiency.
If you want to BURN MONEY that you do not have to, proprietary is definitely the direction you want to go.
There is definitely still a need in very specific areas for proprietary solutions. There always will be. But these sort of ubiquitous services is NOT one of them. - Posted by: bjbrock Posted on: 07/08/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
