Well a lot of people seem to think (me too) that Microsoft BETTER get Windows 7 better or else.

Microsoft needs to have Windows 7 running on those mini netbooks and the budget PC well. I feel if they don't you will see a real general shift to OS X & Linux. So Microsoft is feeling the heat especially in most businesses. In my job I come across many companies and most all of them are still running Windows XP Pro and Server 2003. The servers are in a real danger of being replaced by Linux and if Apple ever gets real serious with OS X server. Most of these companies are experimenting with OS X desktop machines & Linux servers.

Apple's announcement of licensing Microsoft Exchange Support is really a welcomed surprise! Some IT people sat up and took notice of this.
