Windows is still by far the best desktop environment available for use in a business setting.
Windows is only the "best" desktop environment for business purely because most business use MS Office. Those businesses that DON'T use MS Office (and there a a surprising number, which is increasing with each "improvement" in Office releases), funnily enough would say that Windows is NOT the "best" desktop environment for business.
Hmm. I'm a Systems Accountant, and I've worked in several companies (some quite large) where I (and a number of other users) knew more than the "IT" dept!
My wife's company for example had some IT staff who didn't know about the "stop -a" command to enable a blaster worm infected laptop to download the Blaster worm patch! They knew where the patch could be downloaded from but not how to stop the worm shutting the machine down! I had to tell the person whose machine was infected how to do it, and I don't work for the company!

AD is nothing to do with DESKTOP environment - which is what we were talking about. AD is the NETWORK infrastructure.
