ROFL

Wow, that couldn't be more wrong. I work in a windows shop, and I'm generally a windows fan. I love many microsoft products and I there are places where linux simply cannot compete.

Visual Studio, especially with Team Foundation Server, is an absolute beast of a product.

The whole Exchange / Outlook / Communicator suite, and how it integrates with the rest of the office suite, is an undeniable force in the business world.

MS SQL server, and the associated tools, are well worth the premium. Sorry MySQL fans, but the tools suite just make development on MS way easier, and administration is simplistic in comparison. I say this as I watch an oracle database choking on the creation of a massive CSV file, on my other screen.

Security has gotten better with Windows, for damn sure. But at least partially because Microsoft has such a huge target on them, there are way more exploits for Windows. It's much, much easier in general to hack a Windows server, than a Linux server. Believing anything else, boy, you're really just not with the times.

I realize you're a troll, so I realize how futile it is arguing with you. The point of this is to simply announce how completely clueless you are, so others won't possibly think there's something else coming off your fingers that's worth listening to.
