No, companies need frigging assurances. They need timely SLA metered support with seasoned professionals who are certified in their specific areas.
The public sector then needs that AND legal coverage as they have a completely different noodle to cook at the end of the day.
And it somehow needs to be a lot cheaper and easier to use for lusers and somehow integrate with everything else.
One large reason why this is still done so little is Microsoft marketing. Oh I'll admit, Microsoft is kickass at marketing. As bad as their software sucked and keeps sucking, their marketing is awesome and well funded. Linux doesn't have anything that compares but it's own good name.
Microsoft basically lies, cheats, pressures, whatever is needed so that people are locked into their software.

Fuck. Everything. About Microsoft.
