Enterprise open source Toolkit
Story: The problems with open source
Give me a break. Microsoft isn't even "compatible" with its' own. More than once I've told a client that different verisons of Office will cause corruption. Once you know the truth about Office you begin to wonder about all the documents you have to send between clients' offices and you realize the ramifications of the problem.
As far as training goes, I have spent time training user for both Linux and Windows (yes, there are people that have never used Windows). I can say with certainty that a locked-down Linux install is much easier to train users on because they only have the functions they need. Windows can be locked down, but it requires far more work. Either interface is sufficent.
On administration, hire those that know what they are to work on. don't hire a MCSE to run a Unix box and vice-versa. Duh!
Lastly, since you're telling me about my job, I'll tell you about yours. Maybe you should work in the industry your smacking before you write about it. Your "little knowledge" is obviously dangerous.
