That's news?  Why do you think all the proprietary Unix vendors other than
SCO have been moving into the Linux space (or at least trying to :-)?

I did find the comment about the company switching from AS400s to Windows
2003 server interesting, particularly since I've been told by local people
who Should Know(tm) that Microsoft's main accounting applications still run
on AS400s, and that their attempts to run them under Windows have failed
miserably.

The pinnacle of open systems is: when moving from vendor to vendor, the
design flaws stay the same.
