But one consulting company, Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner, questioned whether it will be worthwhile for corporations to replace their Microsoft-based desktops, even with a lower-cost package from Sun.

Hmmm. Before or after the Microsoft bubble bursts? Sooner or later it'll happen (and then watch the technology stocks plummet - stock markets are ruled by idiots). Apparently they're already accused of reneging on the wimpy DoJ settlement, new security holes in XP (you know, the OS that eXPells you from control of your own computer) appear practically every day, they've already been caught falsifying their accounts, the Xbox is selling badly, whole countries are dumping MS software for open source (even my children's school is abandoning M$ Office for Openoffice.org cheers cheers cheers).
What price a M$-infested desktop if M$ finally gets split up, or loses its de facto monopoly?
