Rollout is slow all over. (Score 1)

In the current climate of layoffs and massive budget cuts an IT manager would have to be out of his mind to go to his superiors with news that he/she is replacing the NT servers they bought two years ago with Linux boxes?

Linux is a wonderful system but it'll have to work its way into the IT rollout pipeline. The pipeline isn't flowing as fast as it used to so it'll take a little longer. It will get flowing eventually as M$ ratchets up the prices and nasty licenses schemes.

So yes, businesses aren't decommisioning NT servers for linux -- no shit. They're too busy decommisioning employees.
