Average? How "rosy" are your sun-glasses?
Points (proven):
* I have yet to hear ONE SysAdmin who *LIKES* NT
* I have yet to hear ONE SysAdmin who *LIKES* Win98
* I have yet to hear ONE SysAdmin who *LIKES* Win95
* Everything on win** is clunky
* Everything is expensive (software wise):
LINUX: $60
NT:
mail $800
IIS $500
proxy $500
resource kits $500
etc $????
* Unstable
* Installing a hotfix for "rdisk" on NT using the "hotfix.exe"
reboots the server (note, it only installed ONE! exe file and
that is ONLY an application, not a service).
Dont you love microf******soft?
* Makes the sysadmin stupid (no docs provided so they can sell the other sh***)
* Makes the users stupid (M$ says user doesnt "need" to know but I run around
half the day discribing the most easy things M$ says they are 'easy" to do)
Sorry, just spend 3 hours fixing a file access problem .... and in the end
I had to (YOU GUESSED IT) reboot the server...
