How is this a surprise? Because it gets posted on Slashdot?
Glad to see the numbers to backup what everyone who works with both platforms already knows.
Well, so far it has been the case that EVERYONE litigates against Microsoft. Why are you crying foul now?
Typical Double Standards here at Slashdot, nothing new..
Be specific. How exactly is it better?
I much prefer it to google's desktop search. Which is, by the way, bundled with everything these days.
Windows desktop search rocks!. You can control it within enterprise and customize it to search against SharePoint, etc. Can't do that with google. And don't even get me started on the security issues associated with google...
Again and again Microsoft is leading the world with innovation. Server 2008, IIS 7, MOSS, Vista, Office 2007, Live.com, Popfly, Surface computing, Express Editions, etc., etc., are all great examples of the intense research by the best (expensive) brains in the world and subsequent implementation of that research by means of great design and engineering.
There is a good reason why Microsoft is on top of the world and will only continue to grow and strengthen its' position. Capitalism rules!
Thank you. This is exactly it. Microsoft has figured out the best way to do everything in a large organization and at a pretty penny (which is fine for premium service) you too can have beautiful, redundant MS systems. SQL Server, SharePoint, IIS, Visual Studio, even OfficeLive absolutely rock the world today.
Well, I am an early adopter, so I have been using Vista, Office 2007, MOSS 2007 for almost a year now..
Having seen the power, ease, flexibility, extensibility, integration of these products I am amazed, and I see a clear winners - Rightfully so. Microsoft spends billions on research and has best brains in the industry, all because they want end-users to have a better computing experience and in doing so, keep them long-term, happy customers.
You are correct, there is no ONE True way. Everyting has to be considered when making decisions.
I For example, I will not buy a mac anytime soon, they are toy computers. My opinion may change in the future, as I am always looking for a bettre thing.
People are happy with best applications. Windows OS, Office specifically 2007 beauty are best of breed. Easy to implement, patch, and have incredibly sophisticated features (when you need them). When you thinking about OSS in enterprise, ultimately, you should be thinking about TCO (total cost of ownership).
Technologies are growing more and more complex these days, and no one but Microsoft makes them easy to use and learn FAST.So, if you are an IT worker, you can easily juggle many things at the same time. This is a key point.

yes, can you collectively stop bitching now?
that shakes down American corporatons. But Slashdot is ever so happy.
You should check out latest study by Burton
so is everybody else.
Open source has no security flaws, it is perfect and we should all use it.
Slashdot is biased as usual... http://silverlight.net/Showcase/
Linux is next :)

Face the numbers and don't call it numerology!! Apple OSX is a broken POS, all the lists that are disclosing vulns, support this notion.
any other alternatives?
fyi
HTC Touch runs windows mobile and currently, IMHO, one of the best phone in US market.
Defective by design .

Microsoft would have had the SDK out a year before the phone was released. Poor Apple just does not have the muscle...
rendering properly in safari? ha!
Why not go after Apple with their "spotlight" technology, that preceded Vista search?

I have been using gmail since the early days and it is great, but have you seen new Live Mail, built in spell-checker, and all. MMM mmm mmm good!

I have seen pleanty of "_insert country, company name here_ steping-away-from-linux" news right here on Slashdot.
You can roll out anything you want, it is a total-cost-of-ownership that will be deciding factor, long term.
Microsoft products cost money, because they are worth every penny.
