If the submitter needs an explanation for why this is.. he shouldnt be working in IT. I know many of you have a venemous hatred for Microsoft and its products.. but considering that ANY user can be quickly and cheaply trained on using their products and when set up properly have little downtime.. going to some arcane, obtuse open source alternative (because thats EXACTLY how they would see it) would be astronomically expensive in not only man hours of training and frustration but also back end administrative costs. You fucking dorks cant see the forest through the trees. IF open source was a viable alternative.. especially considering the up front costs are "free" (LMFAO!) it would have a much bigger place in the market after all these years. But being the typical anti social retards who could give a fuck about the end user experience.. you all just fail miserably to see it.
