He didn't even mention one of the other facts that lots of people are using their technology, the fact that C# is growing in popularity, which is why windows servers are purchased. Windows servers aren't purchased because someone wants exchange. The developers for a new company choose to use C# for development, then naturally want everything to be of one OS. Then they hire Microsoft IT personnel who install Exchange. He also says if you don't use Office you don't need Exchange. Who the hell uses Exchange because you're using Office? No idea what this guy is talking about. He also doesn't talk about other gigantic money makers, like Microsoft SharePoint.
- astrodust 14y agoC# can be used on other platforms so don't think they have much lock-in here. Unity 3D (http://unity3d.com http://unity3d.com) uses it as a scripting system. You can author on Linux, OS X and Windows just the same. If anything C# is becoming more popular because it's like Java but not from Oracle, one of the few companies that is less liked than Microsoft.
