This is merely anecdotal . i have never owned msft but was intrigued by the cover story and announcements of new products. I met a women who owns a web design firm and was interested in how she made decisions as to how to allocate investment and manpower into writing for new programs etc. so I asked her whether she was allocating resources to microsofts new product. She quickly responded that no she allocated nothing to new products by microsoft she used only open source stuff that she didnt have to pay for so her customers didnt either. Gave me pause for thought.
