How to tell if you are a misguided Windows Admin:
Linux does not boot into a GUI - it doesn't need one in order to function! Neither does a linux or unix admin!
Access is a easy and powerful database - yes, if you want to store your recipes in it, and make certain that no more than one user accesses them at one time! If you are looking for more than that, Access is useless!
Setting up servers on Windows takes couple of minutes while on linux, good luck playing with configuration scripts - yes, linux requires slightly higher brain function than simply sending a signal to your finger to click the mouse button!
Commercial support in Linux is almost non existent - you obviously have never worked with a commercial version such as RedHat or SuSE. They have support, believe me, my company pays for it.
Wading through cryptic scripts written by lunatics - yes, the Windows registry is much less cryptic (insert sarchasm here)!
One more though for you... linux does NOT integrate non-removable, non-essential components such as a web browser (IE) , email client (Outlook Express), and Media Player into a server operating system, requiring constant patches and hotfixes to fix security holes in the code that you could drive a truck through!
