Look...up there...Is that a pie in the sky??
The simple fact is that the SME market is more effective and efficient as a result of MS technology and these guys will continue to drive a fair chunk of the development. Why should they trust the Open Source Community when all it does is develop a dependance on a bit-part vendor for that piece of software? Where are they going to be in 5 years? I can throw a blanket from my office window and land on several people skilled in MS products wo can provide me with all the support and skills that I need to keep my business alive. Why would I want to deploy a Linux solution when what I have works well and I can get all the support I need? Stability and Security - Give me a break, I've not been hit with a Virus in well over 2 years.
And by the way, I have played with Linux AND I found Win98 better.
