RE: [Sheflug] How Good is Yours ?

["Stephen Porter" <nospam [at] themedicalhouse.com>]

Excuse my rant - this was too much.

Support / Maintenance Costs - (1 x MCSE etc)
Numerous Installation Versions
Lack Of Available Software - (What planet?????)
Untested Waters In Retail - (in other words, they couldn't crack that nut)
Lack Of Formal Development Schedule, Research, and Standards (Standards -
who are these idiots.  At least Linux uses standards)
Less Secure (IIS, Exchange, NT4, Win2000 - SECURE?????????)
Increased Labor Costs - (License for Exchange, Win2k, Client, SQL Server,
etc, etc, they must be kidding)
Limited Developer Tools - (Where do they think Windows started, on Visual
Basic????)
Business Agility in the Future - (LOL)
