Just my 2 cents ..

This kind of mentality has always bothered me. This is similar to having an objection to a hammer and using a wrench to put a nail in a wall. You wouldn't do that right? You would choose the right tool for the job regardless of your preferences (at least I hope you would).
I would like to avoid using any Microsoft product as much as the next person, but I also don't sacrifice end user functionality because of my personal preference.
I think John brings up an excellent point about using the community to put pressure on RIM to provide BES support on Linux. I will volunteer to be the collection point for requests for people and then I will coordinate through Zimbra with RIM to express our requests. E-Mail your interest to:
besforlinux@perceiva.com.
All information collected will only be used for direct purposes of getting RIMs attention that BES on Linux would be a good thing for the community. This community has helped build an incredible product in ZCS...so let's see what we can do with RIM
