I'd agree that most Linux guys avoid Windows for server stuff, and some even for desktop stuff. But I'd have to disagree that it's a one way street. Almost all of the Microsoft fans I know are strict Microsoft users. There are exceptions (like you and a couple of guys I know), but like the guy I'm sitting next to, most of them use Microsoft for everything, as long as Microsoft has a product for what they need to do. Maybe that's why I'm such a Linux snob, I'm surrounded by Microsoftites! ;) --------------- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
