Ahha! so not only are you a Microsoft basher, you're a Linux basher as
well? There are several websites out there that discuss how poor the
spelling of the most inteligent and dedicated to the community can be.
In my book, Bashing _ANYONE_ for who they ARE is _TOTALLY_ uncool.
What is bad about microsoft is what they do (and don't do), not who they
are. Anyone who cannot compete on this basis is irrelevent and a nusiance.
Peace through superior Firepower,
Oh? I thought superior firepower usually leads to oppression.
Mutual diplomacy leads to peace. You know, like Microsoft lacks?

Sadly you have to make do with what you are allowed to work with. It all depends on how educated the IT manager is. At times you will have to deal with M$ crud. others you will have to deal with extremely old OSes like SCO 5.0.5. I really Wish I had the luxury to say to my bosses it's linux or it's me. I know their preference :) Realisticly *hic* Businesses are Dinosours that plod along until they find something that will extend their life.

Dear Kevin, Well that depends, you can do what I did a long time ago and work for yourself and refuse to work with unacceptable O/S's. Or you can work for a Boss, who controls what you do and how you do it. We might stress, that it is your decision what you do with your Lives and what technologies you work with.

If you are not in a position to be self-employed, then perhaps work on convincing your employers to deploy more linux/unix/bsd, dunno dude... thats my $0.02c Dude, you need to chill a little bit. I agree, everyone makes their own life decisions either directly or indirectly, and probably shouldn't whinge about their lot, but there are very few jobs available that are what we would call ideal for ourselves (mind you, most people are never satisfied anyway) and not everyone has the cash/ability/knowledge/whatever to get up and start their own business. There are many people on this list who work with some OS's they don't particularly like, and a lot of us _do_ try to convince employers to deploy more unicies, but why make it a religion when you need to get the references to get to the good work, and the axe is over your neck at any rate. Fact of the matter is that there _are_ other OS's out there that someone _has_ to work with, and people need to make a living to get themselves in a position to work how/where they want (plus the fact that at least if _you_ are the person working the network with 5 ms servers and 2 unix servers, you'll know that someone else isn't screwing up the unix machines grin). Some of us are contract bound (by nasty big companies who take advantage of naive young up and coming professionals - sigh), and whatever the reason for using what you call unacceptable OS's, I think getting on your high horse and preaching is neither encouraging, nor (to use Jaq's word) productive. If you are so interested in promoting open source and such, do a talk at a meeting, encourage people, do posts that are relevant and useful to people. I mean in the time I've been on the slug mailing list there are only 4 posts from you, all of them vaguely condescending. There, that is _my_ 2 cents worth.
