Off the top, let me say that open source software, in most cases, provides strong and credible alternatives and competition for non-open products. SugarCRM is a great example of this having grown into one of the most popular and widely-used CRM packages in the world. Now in light of this latest Microsoft development, let me say that for some organizations and enterprises the Microsoft seal of approval gives open source software a boost in credibility. Over time CIO's and IT managers that previously never even considered open source will begin to entertain open source as an alternative and an option. Open source didn't need the Microsoft seal of approval, but it doesn't hurt. This is good for Microsoft, but even better for open source software and SugarCRM specifically.

I doubt now they would ever consider moving back to a Windows Server platform where their is a Linux option, now that they have experienced Linux in our working environment, even if Linux came at the same price as MS server.
