Scott McNealy said it best when discussing MS products, "they are all welded together and welded shut". With many MS products, for example their proxy server 2.0, if you want transparent authentication, you have to use IE, which means you have to use Windows on the desktop, because they use an undocumented, encrypted field in the HTTP header. This kind of got off topic, but I think Psyche is the best Red Hat release to date, and one of the best linux distro releases to date. People are locked in MS for many reasons and that will still be the case even when linux is 5 times better than the MS solution.
