If Microsoft server are ever to be purchased, they must support another O/S,
which is becoming very prevalent. Think of it as Microsoft adaptation to a
change -- a trend if you like. They transform into a server vendor and are
forced to support what is out there and becomes very commonplace. I saw this
story in other news sources as well, so it's for certain.
Best wishes,
