Everyone seems to be in a tug'owar here. Before I attempt to refute any of the brilliant statements provided by the elite MS community while browsing slashdot.org, I must say that perhaps there's a lot of blah blah blah about how powerful and secure MS is and how unscalable and akward unix can be. Well, here's my 2 cents:
1. Perhaps being afraid of the command line and having more control options than point-click, point-click, point-click... please restart computer causes certain individuals to defend all familiar territory. It's understandable, it's human nature, FEAR FOR THE UNKNOWN and frustration towards the UNOBTAINABLE.
2. I will switch to windows when MS can provide me full access to an open licensed, free, windows kernel code. With no strings as to how to use it except the good 'ole "if you break your computer, you can't sue me".
If all of you windows geeks know how to provide #2, then by all means, bash unix right on the head.

Hey, I can write scripts in anything except Python. I also do Solaris, Linux, HP, and BSD. I'd love to work for a transportation company.
