Most jobs created by Windows are not in admin jobs

But a percentage of the millions that are end up being part of the broken window fallacy. It will be hard to get an IT department to admit that because getting a system that's easier to maintain makes empire building kind of difficult.

Windows Server trumps Linux in costs of administration easy: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/facts/default.mspx

You gotta be kidding me. You're trusting vendor hype? I don't suppose virus/adware/security was factored into that? I also wonder what the total productivity loss due to the Vista UAC will be when hundreds of millions of people are clicking on a billion needless dialogs daily.

There is no Window fallacy.
Windows creates vastly more jobs than Apple does because Windows totally dominates the computer business.
It's common sense.

Plenty of IT departments switch to Windows very single day, after doing extensive analysis or comparative platforms.
On the other hand, Apple computers,ipods and other products from Apple have a failure rate than is going to drive ya up the creek, but the apple zombies would much rather swallow poison than admit that.

"You gotta be kidding me. You're trusting vendor hype?"

I am trusting facts, and documented statements from highly reputable outfits like the London stock Exchange(which has a much better track record on veracity than the known liar that Steve Jobs is) and Continental AG that chose Windows over Linux after extensive studies.
