I am anti- Microsoft everyone who knows me know...Sorry if I step on a few toes but how can one expect me to cough up so much money just to buy a licence to use it, yes you never own a copy of Microsoft Operating system and applications....
Comparing Linux to Windows XP can be tantamount to heresy in many circles, but it's safe to say the two are increasingly in competition for the corporate desktop.
One of XP's greatest strengths is the availability of a huge number of programs. As Linux becomes more popular, the pendulum could swing in the other direction, but at this point the balance is still heavily in favor of XP once you step outside the core office productivity and communication applications. If you're looking for a reason to justify not switching to Linux, look no further than the number of applications available for both platforms.
On the other hand, if you are considering an open source solution, then you recognize the fact that you probably don't need your corporate users running 3-D games. What you really want them running are those core office productivity and communication applications. If you can get by with just those programs, then there's nothing holding you back from making the switch.
With the Linux desktop running a Server Message Block client, file sharing is seamless in a Windows network. Most of the time, you can choose various security levels. The choices traditionally include local (where passwords and user data are stored on the workstation), NIS (where they're kept on a network server) or LDAP. Local works well with traditional workgroup file sharing, while you should use the other levels in larger networks.
