"SuSE's Geck indicated the company will be rolling out "a lot more along
the lines of OpenExchange Server 4.1," which is designed to be
compatible with Microsoft's Outlook. He said SuSE's longer-term vision
for Linux is focused on seamless integration and providing an
alternative to Microsoft's enterprise software.
Geck also said that although it is more open than Microsoft products,
open-source software sold through Linux vendors is still not as open as
it should be. "When you look at many of these products, they're still
proprietary -- everybody has their own approach," he noted. "That's
something we'll be countering.""
