I would agree with you 100%. I think if we look at my history of Blog post and comments buisness adoption is the key to global adoption.
The Active Directory is a wonderful tool. I present that even with it's pretty GUI and integration is still falls short of what Novell offers, but there is the rub, and an argument for another day as well.
Novell Netware is the only large scale contender to AD. In fact I think in some cases(NOVELL) has a better portfolio. Novell has made a huge effort to move all it's apps and tools to SuSE SLES Linux, and in doing that has created what we all have been asking for. A centralized Linux tool that manages the entire networks from servers to desktops. Problem is Novell is having a hard time selling it. I have used it and it's pretty easy to use and pretty easy to set up, then you take the mail solution they have with Evolution and you really have a pretty sound solution.
I would like to see Ubuntu work on the same things but the more time I spend here working and reading about the direction of Ubuntu they seem to focused on desktops and not on large scale implementations and if we all do our history that is what almost killed Apple?
Linux needs to go big time in corporations.
