I love all the anti-Microsoft posts, it just cracks me up. Have you ever taken the time to consider what our lives would be like without Microsoft? Do you think we'd be where we are today in the computing world? Do you understand how much money is put into R&D by MS every year?
I've been the lead sys admin on major companies in my past, supporting both Linux and Windows networks. I'd much rather admin a windows network than a Linux network any day. (And I was an original HP/UX Kernel programmer back in the day, so its not like I don't know what I'm doing on UNIX.)
People can [censored] and moan all they want, but without Microsoft dumping billions into small companies like mine each year, there is no way we'd be where we are today. In terms of usability, gaming, networking, everything. Who do you think helped fund the Cisco core-router project that brought the net to life?
Call me a sheep all you want, but I'll sit in my a/c office, working on my windows machines, coding .Net and DirectX, managing a windows network, all while laughing all the way to the bank.
