I see. No doubt it was rational arguments of this sort that won the day for Microsoft. I am sure Mr Steel will be glad to have such a formidable intellectual force amongst his supporters.
Pity you missed the fact that he didn't say there was anything wrong with Linux, just that " it is easier for "greenfield" IT sites to move to Linux than those with established and heterogeneous set-ups."
He clearly wants to go with Linux, but thinks the migration will be too problematical at this time given his existing setup.
But, as this wasn't the message you wanted to hear, you pretended it wasn't there. Goodnight, and keep taking the medication.
