There are heaps of places that use only MS stuff... I have story which is the reverse of the one mentioned here. I arrived at Corperation X as the Systems Administrator. They had zero money. They had crap systems. They had no idea.
I implemented a freeBSD solution for the entire workplace that cost almost nothing and included samba, imap mail, webmail interface, an ecommerce platform with apache / mysql / php etc etc etc... I did a whole bunch of stuff, but a year or so later, after top level management change, it was decided that everything was to be swiched to Windows. They spent a lot of money and have less functionality than before.
It's the lack of vision that is really annoying. That and the practicalities, eg. IMAP mail with it's virtually unlimited space as opposed to Exchange / Outlook and pst files...

The real question is how can we get people directly over to freebsd instead? ;)
