Microsoft techs... please don't get too angry about this next comment. Micro soft techs that work in enterprise environments do not like to work. They like to have support staff and people working for them at many levels. When a server crashes they don't want to do their job and fix it, they want to call their support team to show up in a van and do all the work. Linux IT costs are LESS if you hire internal IT people to work on your servers instead of letting some schmuck run your IT department for a big pay day and a quick work day who's idea of fixing your companies server is making a phone call to another group of techs.
