Take single sign-on for example.It takes many man hours to configure a server to harrumph do single sign-on just right, and by "just right" I mean "linked into AD and Exchange". If there were an open-source project that bridged 20 million different gaps and let you do harrumph something so incredibly weird as be productive, for instance in a way that Microsoft paid-for products could not allow you to be, you could immediately switch ignorant users to a new platform just for the fact that they could work easier. And that my friend will get you laid at any geek convention.Unfortunately, single sign-on is a myth. You simply can't tie together every competing product in the market and have a true seamlessly working environment, or there wouldn't be any competition anymore really ("who gives a shit about Product B, Product A will interoperate if someone else is using Product B so might as well go with the one that works [A].").
