In a logical follow-on to my last post re: moving away from Microsoft Office there was an interesting article in Computerworld's online edition today (July 17).

I don't think by any means that every organization should ditch their existing Microsoft infrastructure for Apple or Linux or anything else. Wholesale replacement is an expensive proposition to say the least. Historically, however, little real thought's been given to considering how to eliminate or reduce some "fixed" costs. Challenging our assumptions is a key part of being a leader, especially for Technology leaders.
