About a month ago I had a good talk with a network admin who gave me a lot of reasons why porting over to Linux is so much harder then it sounds. Education of the admins is the largest hurdle for any company to overcome. Do you think that the employers would fund training, test machines and allow good testing for a cross over from "Exchange" to another product. Now start to list all the products that the company has to switch over..... Seeing it from the larger POV where you might have to comply with STAR-BOX and or complying with a summons for all your email messages between these two dates because your company is suddenly in a lawsuit. This guy got an experiment to investigate a cost savings with Linux at a huge Financial company in Banking, Stocks and Real Estate. He found that in 2001-2002 the quality of product in the Linux camp as well as the cost of the software(s) and training of staff were much larger then expected.
