Not really, only for those who claim they don't know how to use windows. (OK, I exagerated with MCSE. There's a whole bunch of luser-level Windows, Excel, Word etc. courses -- these are the ones I meant, obviously.) And I have a friend who never used windoze until a couple of years ago: his peecee experience was pre-windows, and he used Macs after that. So claiming you never used windows is not as outrageous as it might seem. Your employer expects you to use $TOOL productively. They can 1) let you use the tool you're familiar with, or 2) train you to use the other tool. It's as simple as that.
