[Sussex] Is this a "cop out" ?

[John Oyler]

If I put my cynical hat on for a moment it appears to me that these Linux
'trials' are conducted in order to put pressure on Microsoft into offering
upgrades more cheaply. You don't need a trial to determine that no Exchange
server client is available for the Linux desktop.

If I take the cynical hat off I might think they are very open minded and
have been foiled on some critical technical issues.

Mmmm... which hat shall I wear today?

Regards
John O.
