I believe that there are two issues:

The least of these two is the conception that Unix is still in the stone ages (no GUI).

The greater of the two evils is that microsoft compatibility leaves MUCH to be desired. I know that my father would convert his business to Linux if there was some way to get his great many M$ programs to operate under linux.

If someone knows how he could do this talk to him at havens@wmonline.com

Subject: [website poll] What impedes further Linux server adoption the most?

Well, after a week off caused by mailing list issues, here is a new
poll!

What impedes further Linux server adoption the most?

- I can't afford one
- Active Directory plug-n-play
- Not MSCE compatible
- Lack of combined Hardware-Software support contracts
- Lack of good sales to enterprise customers
- Unix heritage seen as out dated
- Needs government security certification
- Calendar server

Last week's poll:

Feature holding back desktop Linux adoption

- USB dev. detect     **** (1)
- No MS Office        **** (1)
- No Outlooks/Notes   **** (1)
- Lack of multimed.   **************** (5)
- Too many distros    ******* (2)
- No one to blame     **** (1)
- No clue             **** (1)
- Other               ********************** (7)
- Games               ****************** (6)

Analysis: You know you've created a bad poll when most of the votes are
'other' or the entry that you added late ;)

	Have fun,
		Ted
