1) Most people get 20x as much stuff done when there is a reason behind it - i.e., need to put food on the table etc.
Open source programmers have a reason to do it: a real passion for it ( you can't understand that unless you are one of them)
2) College kids writing code in their free time will never be close to what software engineers getting paid to write stuff like Oracle, etc will.
Philosophicaly speaking you could debate on that, and forever. There are some people who thinks that the best work done is often when it's unnecessary or you are not pushed by time.
Think before shouting about something you don't understand.

My problem with MS is that they impose their software, I'm not saying that you don't have other choice but when you buy a new computer, almost everything on it is MS software (IE, Office).
And if the constructor such as Dell or Gateway, tries to put anything else, well MS will tell them that they won't give them the right to install W95
This was particulary true two years ago, when Linux and wasn't so famous. And also when Microsoft wasn't yet confronted to justice
Another issue is the quality of their software: excuse me, but Word sucks because it's awfully too heavy for the system
Well that's all I have to say

Well, I think it a good introduction to Linux from an entreprise point of view although I think it may be too short.
I think the conclusion is quite realistic : 20 years to get rid of Microsoft;-)
Overall it gives to Linux what it deserves right now: a very good alternative
