This  is  a fairly accurate description of the issue in theory, but in
practice you don't confront any of the poisonous aspects of your side.

This  is a huge crock of trollery. We maintain MXs running IIS SMTP on
Windows  2000  Server  licenses  purchased  four  years  ago for $400,
running  on  server hardware from the late nineties (PII-350, et al.),
and still going strong.

_Any_  OS  seems  hands-off  when  there aren't any issues. Managing a
hardware  crash  on  an OS you've never even logged into is no breeze,
despite any attempt to frame it that way to win converts.

Who  said  anything  about  "GUI-only"?  There  are  millions of Win32
sysadmins who can and do tweak and script rings around *nix partisans.
Only  someone  who's  out  of the loop of Windows IT could assume that
professional Windows sysadmins only use graphical front ends.
