Canadian companies shouldn’t migrate from Windows-based mail servers to open source expecting a free ride, executives told the LinuxWorld Expo Wednesday morning.

In a session that discussed alternatives to Microsoft’s Exchange platform, several executives, including IBM and Novell, said they have started to see an increase in the number of organizations opting for a Linux-based system for messaging and collaboration.
