For some it's really disadvantge. Read recent Microsoft employees' talk
about "nothing good is free, so if it's free, it can't be good" - you'll
catch the line. And differences in distributions can annoy even
experienced user - I'm here third day trying to make some RPMS from
another distribution (where it works) to work - no success and nobody
knows why yet... Competition is good, but don't tell this to the poor guy
who has to do those "all-compatible" things ;)

You may not to check anything, if it isn't important, right? That is just
bad usability design, but nothing anti-Linux.

You might not check this one. This is for NT admins after all, so the
question "Why you still is an NT admin, and not Linux admin" is perfectly
valid. After all, they see some drawback if they didn't all move to Linux
yet ;) And this would be very useful for some to see what exactly they
think Linux is lacking.
