Quite true. I agree that linux is more than likley the ideal web platform, however as a child of the Bill Gates era, i didn't really have this as an option. Thrown from nice simple NT networking job into the world of the internet was enough of a challenge, without the added torture of learning a new operating system.

We are running configurations Windows will never be able to beat. (E.g. MySQL based email-configuration and XML controlled DNS, both with a web interface.) - Cs.
