Re: How Microsoft Sabotages Linux Adoption

Two themes dominate the stories I hear about the tribulations of using and

last week, IT pros have shared their experiences with these two adoption

From that article:

Microsoft's mindshare with some employees has been harder to overcome than the
problems with the table and formatting. Holt now knows that the success of an
OpenOffice migration can depend on early identification and deprogramming of
employees who are fiercely loyal to MS Office. "Just one person like this may
upset the whole project," he said.



Microsoft controlls the memes.
