Unfortunately, Microsoft does run the world...it's a sad fact. Much like OJ denying he didn't do it, it's just as obvious when Microsoft denied not owning a monopoly on the (software) world.
The problem with creating an open source alternative that is not compatible with the millions of existing computers running Corporatation X's infrastructure (read: microsoft) is that Corporation X can't afford to implement it.
Corporation X is not willing to fork over the extra time and money to support any compatiblity with Linux clients/software.
Unless we, as a community, are willing to help them. (which means proving why they should)
