Of course there is also the #1 corporate mail server, Exchange 2K7, and the
extremely profitable SQL Server 2K5 with 2K8 on the horizon. Then there's
the #1 development environment VisualStudio 2K5 with 2K8 (Orcas) in beta
now. Live Communications Server, too. Share Point Server is a biggie as
well. I don't think that you fellows are doing much homework.
You are obviously spending too much time playing with your ubuntu!
