Actually, the reality is that many vendors see business opportunity in
filling in the missing parts of a given Microsoft solution. This is a far
cry from "not worth trying to fight" it. In fact, when Microsoft does fill
in those parts themselves, those companies cry like stuck pigs.
Linux stays in it's niches because it doesn't have the one thing that
Microsoft has in spades. Marketability.
