I find it rather sad and quite unprofessional to make these types of negative and prejudicial statements about a platform. The Microsoft product and company bashing is in horrid taste, often rather inaccurate, and paints a picture of non-technical people who use the products (often not by their choice) as uncivilized neanderthals who don't deserve access to technology.

This is the League of PROFESSIONAL System Administrators.

If we want the respect professionals deserve, we must act professionally. Microsoft creates some of the world's most widely used and popular software ever. It is a reality of our profession that we must deal with the popular and interesting at the same time. Linux and it's big brother Unix flavors are technically too complicated, still yet, for the average computer user, and a vast majority of the system administrators in the world manage systems that run some flavor of Microsoft's products, not open source or commercial Unix/Linux packages.

This attitude disenfranchises our largest audience: the system administrators working with Microsoft products. This has to stop, or the world will never see system administrators of any type as professionals worthy of respect.

Anyone who schedules meetings via email.


I s'pose MSW users can't do anything as useful as pipe an invite into a calendar feeder program. Instead, MS Outlook automatically ingests and
processes everything - a virus hacker's dream.
