I have a practical example where you take it as a challenge. Recently, i was given the assignment of implementing single sign on in a webapplication (PHP) running in Linux, to use the windows AD & Kerberos authentication. There is not enough material in the net, and i tried implementing mod_ntlm and kerberos authentication, but without success. Due to this, there is a consideration to move the website to windows based server, and this problem of integrating in to windows domain, is a big obstacle to fully embracing open source technologies. Our management, had taken a couple of decision to fully implement few applications in sharepoint itself, for the convenience of inter-operatbility and single signon. I feel, taking such an assignment of developing/enhancing solutions for open source technologies to seamlessly inter-operate with windows network, will be a fruitful experience. Ofcourse, as shakthi kannan said, if your motive is to get an MS using this, you may miss a lot of things.
