I read through that nice new comparison page. I laughed most of the way through because of Microsofts claims of increased time and cost for developing the integration of almost everything they comared. I find that most hilarious since when I install most Distributions right now, they come with most if not all of those features already enabled and integrated. Now I don't know how Microsoft came up with these claims of increased costs, my guess is they took someone at Microsoft that has never heard of or even tried Linux and said make a server that compares to our Windows 2000 Server offerings and write us a report on it.
If I was an OEM/System Integrator, once I have setup a working server for one customer, with the features MS Compares against Linux, I would be able to configure further servers for other clients with a lot less time involed. Microsoft makes it sound like with Linux you have to learn how to integrate software over every time you install a system.
