@Lliu It's going to take more than a single tweet to answer the 'Drupal is to..' question. So here goes on posterous.


I would say Linux is to Windows as Drupal is to "an enterprise community platform - that is flexible, approachable and adoptable and has good support and viable roadmap". Unfortunately I'm not sure that this platform exists - it's certainly not SharePoint as the current version does not have any real community features or gets anywhere near the 7 principles of Drupal. I must admit my ignorance of Telligent. Despite E.ON being a customer (an older version powers our press release site for the UK) I've not seen where the community features have really enhanced, other than the obvious sites that are mentioned on Telligent's website. Typically large corporates do prefer a 'buy vs. build' approach and Drupal doesn't really have that necessary comfort blanket that you get from Linux just yet (at least from enterprise vendors who have put their support behind Linux) that you normally get from purchased products.
