If they have a problem then it's M$ responsibility, not theirs, they still get their paychecks (and they don't even have to deal with it, YOU do). If the company goes out of business they'll have a better resume than you have, simply because they care about those things and because 'IT manager' looks better than 'IT solve everything' does. And they'll probably get a bigger good bye check than you'll do. So if I was in their shoes.... I'd probably do the same thing. The game is rigged so that those who don't really care (and only care about Mr.Number 1) run the show. > Anyway, I would imagine that .Net support HAS to be better.
