Quoting Odhiambo WASHINGTON odhiambo.raburu@wananchi.com:
Don't make life difficult for them if you have the budget to run Windows. I must say it's pretty easy to run Windows, my only concerns being the security. Let the guys enjoy the easier, insecure life ;)
Anyone who has run a Windows shop with large apps (DB, Exchange, etc) from NT->2000->XP->2003 knows this is bunk. Going from old domains to active directory was easy? Exchange upgrades are easy? Come on guys... Regularly released security patches that break your systems are easy? Right.
Trust me, plenty of people with very deep pockets and high investments in MS products still have a very hard time with upgrades... Life isn't always easier on the other side of the (MS) Windows... (Ouch, now adding bad puns to the list of crimes... Probably get banned from the list for that!)
