Book lists open source alternatives to Windows, Office
I may have to pick up a copy of Tony Bove's book inline with my yearlong open source research project. Check out the review of "Open-Source Alternatives To Microsoft Windows Operating Systems and Applications: "Just Say No To Microsoft". It discusses why it's not that hard to break away from Windows and Office.Some of the Amazon reviews say the book is too overly anti-MS, which I feared, but I'll give it a shot. The accompanying site's not bad, either.

Jason,
I am not anti-Microsoft, but I am all for using the right tool for the job, and often that means Microsoft's products aren't the best choice. And, thankfully, it almost always means Microsoft's products aren't the only choice. If you have any "non-Microsoft" questions, don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

Cool! Yeah, outward expansion is always the best way to go. I'm not forsaking my Microsoft past, but just looking at other platforms to get ideas and be a more holistic developer. :)
I'll keep you in mind when I inevitably run into a wall...thanks!
