one thing here: does microsoft think that CEOs and managers can run windows
2000 server on their own, without hiring people to do it? :) or does
microsoft claim that the average pay of MS professionals is lower than the
average pay of Linux professionals? where did the "advantage" of being
MS-certified go?

of course, all of us here that know about linux and other open source
alternatives know the real score. but combating this FUD and other nonsense
information will have to be done if we are to educate the public about it.
