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.

"Replace Sharepoint on the server with Alfresco."
Thanks for this. Never heard of Alfresco. Which brings us to about the biggest issue of Linux and OSS. The big tech magazines that the CIO's and such read do not mention such things. Hell, I never heard of it and I am always looking for new things. Advertising is what it takes to get the word out, and RH needs to do more of that for everything they may support. Until it gets out there more, and there are print ads and the like, it will remain in the background and not heard of. RedHat loves to advertise the training and certs, which they make money off of, and RHEL, which they make money off of, but they never advertise things that are free and do not pay. Like Alfresco...which looks to be an awesome product.

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.

But the problem is - you never addressed the issue which I said; there needs to be integrated between OpenOffice.org and the said sharepoint alternative - in your example Alfresco. Unless there is the same level of integration between Alfresco and OpenOffice.org as there is with Sharepoint and Office on the client, people aren't going to use it.
I appreciate the link to Alfresco, but it doesn't address the requirements of what I said in the previous post - for a drop in replacement replacement for Sharepoint/Office system that is feature for feature equal or superior to what Microsoft offers.

Ask and you shall receive.

The purpose of the Extension is to provide Alfresco functionality from within OpenOffice.org. This functionality includes the ability to: navigate Alfresco spaces, search and open documents; check documents in and out; view document details; and invoke some actions, such as work flow steps.
