>>>Go with the number 1 standard and make it easy on your users,

I left the standard cause it didn't work. My Unix/Linux works.

And is available at Sam's Club

They have a 5 year migration plan to move all desktops off of NT to Linux. XP has a Major breaching problem.

WalMart setting the standard for other industries (interfacing with business to business) will move other major corps off of NT also.

Me going back to NT where I had problems would be moving backward except being ahead of competitive trends.

Fairly hard to believe since *NIX is typically considered far more complicated and suited best for techies, while M$ products like Bob that attempt to make life easy are often scoffed at by that very crowd for their simplicity, the 'wizards' for example.

I don't know your exact situation, but according to NetCraft (who monitor operating system use) they have some interesting data according to their automated pings 8,000 websites recently switched from Linux to Windows Server 2003.
