I think the part that Linux excels in is how encompassing updates are. With Microsoft you get Windows Update and it takes care of the OS. Then there's Office Update for their Office suite. What about everything else?
I run Debian and all of my software is from the maintained repositories. This means that when I update my system *everything* gets upgraded.
As was stated in another thread, it is very true that there are big business software gaps in the open source realm. This will change in time.
I found the article put into words a lot of what is on my mind and my focus on IT for small companies. I sincerely hope that if this idea flies, that it be with a distribution that is not corporate. Sooner or later the corporation exerts too much power over their customers.
