Remember, rank times IQ is a constant.

There's still too much of a herd mentality at the PHB level (not quite so much, but still a lot, in the trenches). They read the trade rags, see the pretty advertisements from M$, hear the drivel from the MCM's (M$ Certified Morons), and conclude life is good.

They don't listen to the lost downtime (I lost over an hour because the latest patch from M$ trashed my desktop; our IS shop has been doing little but apply anti-MSBlaster patches for a week) Same story for ILoveYou, and Nimda, and CodeRed, etc. But it hasn't sunk in yet. Hopefully within the next few years, though.
