Looks like we've got another live one, folks! Sounds to me like an MCSE whose scared that his expensive classes/certs might not be worth so much anymore...ah, if only we'll just ignore the FSF's message of freedom, then he'll still be valuable!<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-D
Look, kid, I used to be just like you--pro-Microsoft, even a Microsoft employee. Yep, I Was There. I left that world in the late 1990's when I started to understand what direction it was taking. My use of GNU/Linux and OpenBSD isn't nearly as much for technical reasons as it is about my freedom. That matters *A LOT* more to me.
Go back to your Microsoft world, kiddo, and have a great time. The rest of us *do* care about freedom and will fight for it. When you wake up, we'll still be here and will welcome you in, just as the Free Software world welcomed me in years ago. Until then, have fun at your TechNet meetings.
