Really don't get why MS does stuff like this. I understand that they want people off XP and onto W7/W8 but for many people, especially in small/medium businesses, the idea of updating a familiar, perfectly functional OS just for the sake of an updated office suite that they probably don't even really need in most cases is... ridiculous. It's such a nasty, cynical move.
40% of desktop users are still using XP
for a reason. In a sane world, a company would be fucking delighted that their product was still so popular after 10 years.
It's a shame LibreOffice is a bit shoddy and that there's no real Exchange alternative otherwise Linux would have a really good argument for enterprise desktop use, now.
