What I find to be the biggest gap is an integrated
domain/directory/authentication system that Windows has and an Exchange
killer.
Sure, you have the basic components like OpenLDAP and Kerberos. but
the glue/polish of them is missing. That said, there is some work in
Ubuntu being done to address this problem.
Integrated LDAP/Kerberos/NFSv4 support with nice management tools will
make Linux a viable alternative for MS in many bigger organisations.
If Hula is completed, we will have something to replace Exchange.
Things are getting there.
