[OSGeo-Discuss] Recent comparison of desktop GIS and image processing capability?

Has anyone done a recent comparison of desktop GIS and image processing capability? It would be interesting to see where we stand now with FOSS4G software functionality. It appears that this is what ESRI is using to compare the functionality of their various license levels:

First of all, I want to thank Jeroen for his testimonial and sharing his experiences. I 've taken some initiative for the formation of a OSGeo Europe Local chapter, so I follow this thread very close. It is not so simple to find the time to formulate my thoughts on this discussion, but here is
