Thats a bit harsh! I have Unix & Nt machines here. No NT servers though,
they are all linux and there is one hpux server. There are mostly NT
workstations, but some linux. Most admins who are in this situation are
probably there because users know windows, and there are a lot of
problems with lack of apps on linux (although, having said that, I run
linux full time, and rarely have compatability problems these days.)
