1) How many people pay for MS support for Windows? There are SO MANY
more qualified MS Admins than Linux admins. It's easier to support
in-house. Plus, in my experience, Windows is more reliable than Linux
for some applications. Hell, I wish my Linux DNS server was as reliable
as my Windows

Okay, so you pay for the software from MS *and* get support for a period

You pay $X for a copy of Windows 2003 Server. After that is paid, you
don't have to pay a dime for support if you don't want to.
I can't comment on products like SQL server or whatnot,

That's true now, but I have paid for MS support in the past, so I assume

Yup. But I bet it's designed to only work on RedHat Enterprise 4 with

Thanks. I reinstalled the host, and it's working now. Windows Scripting

The only thing that really matters is the vid card, assuming you have a
2Ghz+ cpu (AMD or Intel) - and no, a 9600 won't cut it at high settings.
It's pretty sucky on a 9700 Pro too.

If an office already has a Windows 2003 server then they could just load
it on that one. Chances are most new offices would end up with at least
