I no longer feel the need to be entertained by such a fascist organization. Think I'll spend my time learning or working or reading and leave all the mass media crap I used to pay for at the mall. Turn off the TV, Stop going to the Movies, we don't need entertainment at this price.
This MCSE switched.. and I'm loving every minute with Linux. Turned down plenty of Windows related jobs as well. I've had more than enough of NT and Exchange.
Funny, I think and speak and communicate with words.
Which I turn into command lines that communicate directly with my OS (ok ok with bash). If I like, those command lines can become a script which I can rerun. If I like, I can automate when that script runs.

I would suspect that it is still going on. Even if that sort of coercion isn't, it is hard to dispute that the decision to deploy NT in many IT shops is made by nontechnical managers for political reasons rather than by technical people for technical or financial reasons.
The U.S. Military is spending millions of tax dollars on Windows NT. NT is being pushed by upper management despite the frequent and loud protests from administrators. Pisses me off when management types choose my tools and don't have a clue what the job entails.
How come management believes salesmen and M$ marketing and not their own workers?? Oh I forgot M$ really has their customers best interest at heart...
