OSNews, Generic OSes Microsoft and Novell have made good on their 2006 interoperability pact. Microsoft and Novell jointly announced that Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise has been optimized to run as an "enlightened" guest on Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor platform. Windows Server 2008 customers have been able to run as a virtualized guest on SUSE since last June, when SUSE became the first member of Microsoft's Server Virtualization Validation Program, which Novell has helped to fine-tune. Now SUSE is optimized to run on Microsoft's Hyper-V as well.

Take Microsoft Office/Sharepoint integration, why don't we see an OpenOffice.org version of that? why don't we see an end to end solution in the opensource world to the Office System?


Replace Sharepoint on the server with Alfresco.

In fact, replace the whole server with a Linux server, and then put Alfresco and OpenXchange on that.

There is your no-lockout end-to-end collaboration and e-mail system.

Much cheaper too!

I'm sure there are a number of other open source solutions ... but the essential smart move is to get rid of sharepoint itself.
