[plug] Some wisdom regarding M$ products...

[David Buddrige]

PC Week have got a fairly good article about MS software usage - here's
a quote of their summation:

"We think the real message to IT managers is that they need an
independent technology strategy. If Microsoft's meanderings sow
confusion, then managers should not lean too heavily on Microsoft as a
partner. Instead, they should scan the horizon for products based on
such standards as CORBA, Java and Linux. Exercising choice and using
the best technology to suit a purpose is the best way to attain a 
strategic advantage for your company."
