Oh really? I've worked with, and for, many narrow-minded biz'droids
who only knew about Micro$oft rubbish and would not hear of anyone
using anything else, or, if they did have to use UNIX for anything,
they'd use those annoyances from SCO (e.g., OpenServer) and didn't
appear able to comprehend that other flavors of UNIX were more
reliable and less troublesome. One of them told me that there was no
difference between BSD and Linux, and he firmly believed that BSD was
based on Linux! Another one insisted that I switch to M$-Word from
LaTeX, since M$-Word was a "standard;" he claimed that no one else
would be able to update the documentation written in LaTeX if I left,
which, he believed, would leave them with a lot of useless data.
It seems that the logic used by Micro$oft pushers/dealers is:
"Micro$oft is the standard, therefore it should be used." On those
grounds, they refuse to listen to any reasons as to why anything else
is, or might be, useful - since "it's not the standard" (or so they
think).

What's wrong with that? Why be slaves to the Micro$oft virusware?

I believe that you have something inverted... (an inverter left out of
some circuitry when your brain was forming?) ;-)
