Story: How to talk to Microsoft about Linux

haha this is getting funny.
Whoever posted this and didn’t see the MS vs. Linux battle coming? :)
I particularly like comments where ppl say they wont switch OS because it's not entirely GUI driven. Absolutely insane. Microsoft has a lot to answer for. BTW, are all MS products entirely GUI driven? Ever used NTDSUTIL, CSVDE or LDIFDE in a GUI? The point is if you get technical with any OS, your gonna need something a little more low level, unless your on a helpdesk :P
People forget that IT is a science, it's not supposed to be fluffy and easy. It is (supposed to be) an elite profession that provides unlimited learning upon existing related knowledge - for those ppl that are interested in learning. Where's the satisfaction in commissioning and administering an MS OS? Its all wizards and ambiguous tickboxes.
IT today is too full of those who complain as soon as something difficult turns up, and those who lack the discipline of methodical, clear thought.
Personally, I am far from a Linux guru, but it really isn't that difficult - providing you can read and apply a little generic IT knowledge.
