IT departments, just like "managers" "choose" (in fact, they don't choose at all) MS because it's not them who have to do the actual work, so they can't have a clue. And because they're too lazy and ignorant to get some input from the information workers who have to do the actual work. > Keep in mind that introduction of an alternative suit requires a lot > of testing in an IT department. The suit must be stable and keep > productivity high. With MS products, user productivity will be minimised compared to all available alternatives.
