I'd disagree there - they do a good enough job to achieve lock-in. Look at Outlook/Exchange Server - you need to use the Outlook client to really leverage Exchange; to get a good deal on the Outlook client, you get it bundled with the rest of Office; to make good use of your Office investment, use Windows Server...

It mostly works good enough to make it difficult to break out of it - which is where the problem with moving to Linux lies.
