Speaking as someone who has used and administrated both UNIX and NT/2K in large enviroments. The real problem outside of the greed of microsoft is the fact that they dumb up all there applications and OS'es for users. Once you have dumbed up an appllication so much, it is easy to throw a non-microsoft application into the mix and botch it up. But the reality of this is that ANY OS that has been dumbed up so much would have the same issues. Take X windows for an example!
