So long as you define "no one" as "anyone other than Microsoft".

Interoperate? SharePoint only works properly with MSIE. There are
Mac and Linux users who don't even have the option of using it. Now,
if you had said "we only have Windows computers here" I'd at least buy
the argument that everything you have today works fine with
SharePoint. (That might mean platform lock-in, but presumably you're
okay with that.) But claiming interoperability is silly. Methinks
you've been drinking too much Kool-Aid yourself.
