    Obviously they missed step 1 in the Windows-to-Linux migration strategy. Go through the resumés of everyone in IT, and fire anyone who's top qualification involved the letters "M," "C," "S," and "E."

    And hire the next applicant in the door who only wants to know if free Mountain Dew is a company benefit and has a beard.

    No wonder they failed; they forgot the basics.
