Comments like these crack me up, one of the commonest comments I hear from CIO type's is "If anything goes wrong with Linux we have no one to sue" to which I reply "How many times have you sued Microsoft?, and would you want to?".
People who make comment like this are stuck with one or two vendors and are scared to change, talk to an IT director who came up from a Unix based environment and they are incredibly open to Linux.
I would suggest that anyone that needs to "shout at" the company supplying services to them then they have serious problems with their IT already; besides there are plenty of companies like IBM and HP which will take this kind of responsibility if you pay them
