Something? http://www.osnews.com/thread?390230 http://www.osnews.com/thread?390230 Was a link forgotten from the write-up?

Or was it supposed to be a story containing two sentences? Kind of like text message. Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:45:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (strcpy) Comments RE: Link?

I know this is anecdotal, but having been in the IT biz for quite a few years now, part of it as a (*gasp*) consultant, I've been exposed to many, many different businesses in many different industries. Out of all of those, maybe 5% of them would be able to do it. The rest have that one or two apps that they just can't replace in open source, and they won't run in WINE. It's not that Ubuntu isn't good enough, it's just that The Apps Aren't There Yet.

They can be run on windows on a remote server and accessed by windows terminal services clients or you could host them on citrix etc. Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (chemical_scum) Comments
