IMVVHO unless you have a client server architecture, with the server + database on linux, you are going to wind up running a losing race.
OpenERP offers all-in-one package for download but with a strong disclaimer that it is to be used only for trial purposes and is not supported. If OpenERP is to be used in production, it is recommended to use official release. IMO, this works nicely for presenting a quick trial to potential customer before getting them to use it for everyday business needs. If I am not mistaken this is the kind of usage that Saswata was talking about.
Not exactly, This particular client had a relatively small requirement, a client servicing team that disparately needed. They are quiet happy with using windows and running the crm on it. (Rajeev gave me a list of security warnings to give them)
They had tried to use it on ubantu (as i didnt know it will run seamlessly on windows) and it failed miserably. And the project value was too small to send someone physically to the client place to install and configure ubantu and all stuff on it.
They will not look at moving to linux for crm till it becomes a product large enough or critical enough for them to invest in a new server and technical skillset to run the server
