| Altair Global Relocation 11/4/2007 "Selecting and utilizing Microsoft technology has insulated Altair from limited technical resources." | | |
| 
| Bassett Healthcare 4/11/2007 "Regulations change annually. It's a constant challenge to keep up and make sure that your algorithms and toolsets are operating so that you're compliant." | | |
| 
| Beall's, Inc. 3/24/2008 "By migrating from Linux to the Microsoft platform, we can achieve those goals of greater reliability, stronger support, and automated processes throughout the company." | | |
| 
| Biomet, Inc. 12/11/2007 "From my experience in almost 20 years in the IT outsourcing industry, I don't see a lot of companies running mission critical environments on Linux..." | | |
| 
| City of Jacksonville 3/24/2008 "Microsoft provides the backbone for our citywide e-government and e-commerce solutions. As a platform, it has been stable and highly available." | | |
| 
| City of Lake Oswego, Oregon 3/24/2008 "Folks like to tell me that Linux is free. However, that's not really the case when you consider I'd have to increase my staff in order to bring it on." | | |
| 
| Clark County, Nevada 12/11/2007 "We're working on processes more than anything else, using ITIL as a model to optimize the business of IT and better support the delivery of government services." | | |
| 
| Corporate One Federal Credit Union 3/24/2008 "I'm confident that if I were to call Microsoft with a similar problem, it would be in a position to say, 'We can guarantee that a fix will be included in the next release of Windows.' That's the difference between being a Microsoft shop and being a Linux shop." | | |
| 
| Glu Mobile 4/15/2008 "The primary reason for moving off of PHP is that it doesn't have a content management system behind it, which we needed. Everything was customized, and every time we needed to change things, we had to modify the code. Windows and SharePoint gave us a strong content management platform to build on. " | | |
| 
| Jelly Belly Candy Company 2/15/2008 "I'm not opposed to using Linux as long as it's highly managed. I think that application availability and compatibility could be an issue, as well as support. It isn't something that fits into our environment well, and it makes me a little nervous to think that a company would want to risk its productivity and security on a set of technologies that are open to many developers to work on." | | |
| 
| JetBlue Airways 12/11/2007 "I think that Linux is more prone to tweaking and tailoring than typical Windows environments, and that has a direct impact on reliability. Linux guys tend to have their own tool sets and scripts that they use, so it's easy to get inconsistency from server to server." | | |
| 
| Level Up! Games 12/11/2007 "Given the skill set of the general population here in the Philippines, it's safer to stay on the Microsoft platform because you can easily get well-trained people who are able to use the tools." | | |
| 
| Lifetime Products 3/24/2008 "Here is the problem with standardizing on a Novell or RedHat. I don't know of any other company, save Microsoft, that can be the sole provider of all the products you need to standardize completely as an organization." | | |
| 
| Midas 10/2/2007 "We've noticed that after we've done our research, when we stick with a Microsoft product it's easier to maintain than others.... And finding people who are experts in those other platforms is getting a little more difficult." | | |
| 
| Modec 8/1/2007 "We pay a little bit more for our technology, but we gain that back through being more focused and efficient because we have fewer problems." | | |
| 
| Old Second National Bank 12/11/2007 "A mixed world is becoming more difficult to support, not only from the standpoint of integrating new applications, but also having the resources to manage it." | | |
| 
| Pacific Coast Building Products 4/15/2008 "Microsoft ... has done a good job of demonstrating that it understands the needs of the enterprise and knows how to respond effectively." | | |
| 
| Press Ganey 1/14/2008 "I'm a UNIX guy from way back, and there was a time when I was very religious about my platform choices. But in my position now, I'm much more reasonable about it. Today I ask, 'What's the right thing for us to do?'" | | |
| 
| Rayovac 4/11/2007 "Too often I've had the experience of trying to help a startup get going and buying solutions based on price, only to be disappointed by the company not being there later on." | | |
| 
| State of Illinois 5/5/2007 "We don't have the time or resources to expend on what could be construed as 'science projects' from a business perspective." | | |
| 
| Swiss International Air Lines 8/7/2007 "It's all been about bringing costs down to acceptable levels wherever we can. That's not just a challenge for us in IT." | | |
| 
| The Linc Group 2/15/2008 "We're a huge believer in safety, reliability, and interoperability with other applications. When we deploy a Windows server in a Windows environment, the thing just works. It's automatic. It sees Microsoft System Center and starts talking to it. You start messing in open source, and it just doesn't work." | | |
