While I'm not a programmer, I would still like to have some examples of this productivity software. Also, what aspects / features (Excluding "windows only" like features) make it impossible to develop in Linux within similar amount of time? About the spam filtering and such.... I'm fairly sure m$ is using some open source stuff for that (at least partially). I wish I would've posted the mail headers and such to the list when I made that discovery few months back. That would have been interesting topic.... Basically, UNO has purchased some mail filtering service from Microsoft, and the filtering activity is done somewhere off-site. I was studying the mail headers and such for some reason and few headers indicated that open source stuff was involved...... While I do not have time to dig too much, I'll post something I encounter that again.
