 Fortunately, MS is playing catch-up to features Unix and Linux have had

 And this is why corporate desktop Linux makes a great deal of sense.
For most users, it already has everything it needs, and the price is
very nice. The main sticking point is MS Office, but their grip there
is weakening, too.

 I'm not saying Linux is taking over tomorrow. But I like the trendlines
I can see.
