From my experience, working with any vendors from the pacific northwest, they're all MS shops. Is this trend changing considering the added expense of working with any MS Licensed software (where an OSS solution with little or no cost could suffice)? Does MS offer incentives to local startups to build their platform on existing licensed MS products? Or is it more of a Seattle Pride thing? I personally don't feel the MS Business model is one the works well for scrappy young start-ups, yet pretty much every company in the Pac Nor Dub I've worked is completely MS'd out.
I didn't even know there was a MS service called Lync until we did a training with Mercent (FYI, Lync doesn't work on Linux, I was shocked too).
