Nobody was ever fired for buying from $BIG_CORPORATION. But I'd like to point out a "security weakness" on your judgement.

But the accountability argument that goes with $BIG_CORPORATION's name doesn't have any value. The EULA on your products debunk the accountability myth. There are good Unix hands in this list. And there are good NT hands too. It's the persons capability that reduces the risk of running a networked system. After all, a secure system is disconnected from the power supply.
