It is really 'sad' when people have the OS mentality. An OS is just an OS. If its for infrastructure, etc. it really does not matter. If you know them well and you are very good at supporting them and do not have that 'attitude' you will go very far.
I know this is what you said in your reply. I find it interesting that a more 'OS agnostic' mindset is not held by all technology users. IMO you cannot change anyone but people who limit themselves I don't want to work with or try to manage. Thanks, Erik L.

We have a 22 year old Mac Tech who is also very bright and really knows his stuff but has the anti-MS attitude from hell as well. We have tried to get him to see that he has a great opportunity here. Were 95% MS, the Macs are used by a few Faculty and the Math department. He could become one of those rare people who really know how to deal with Mac in a Windows environment but he just wont let himself learn anything about Windows... A lost cause.
