	I think Microsoft is galled to no end that UNIX systems still are
so embedded in corporate and information systems. While Microsoft may have
done the home PC's desktop a bit of good by making things "much, much
easier for [the user]", I think what administrators are looking for is
reliability, stability, and security; aspects in which Microsoft continues
to prove itself lacking. What they have proved is their ability to use
marketing to make up for where their product lacks. I'll turn in my badge
the day that a GUI is my only access to a system. As for "Zero
Administration", I need not comment.
