Hate ??? Microsoft

Lots of us LIKE Microsoft.  Heck, 98% of us on here make our living
babysitting Windows clients (or why would we be here????) and NT
servers.

I think the backlash against NT system administrators is this:
There are many people who put on a tie, buy a palmpilot, read
NT Server for Dummies, and flood the marketplace.  Ive actually
fielded questions from _NT ADMINS_ who ask "Are you guys running
Ethernet or IP?"  Or "Dammit, all these floppies are formatted
NTFS!".  These are the guys who use Disk Administrator to look
at the pretty bargraphs to tell HOW MUCH FREE SPACE C: has.

These are the guys whose motto is: "If there is not a GUI, it
can't be done."

Do most of us on here, and even MANY NT Admins fall into this
category?  Of course not.  Do most of us on here, and even many
Linux/Unix Admins hate Microsoft, want to kill Bill Gates, and
rule the world?  Of course not.

It just takes a few bad apples to spoil the barrel.
