People work on Microsoft infrastructure because it pays the bills, not because they want to. The problem with this is that in 10 years time it will be cheaper to get a LAMP administrator than it will to get a IIS/MSSQL administrator. Bugger licensing costs, it's the price of risk management that is important to companies. And with Microsoft becoming less relevant LAMP and "Cool Hip technologies" will be the replacement in 10 years when those admins grow up and start doing IT for a living like the rest of us.
Odd, it seems like you're describing the world today, as opposed to the world 10 years from now.
