<OT> Why not fire these guys?

If IS people hired by businesses and govt got fired for these
screwups, they might not use MS. I strongly doubt that any IS people
will be fired because of this. (What does the MVA care about customer
convenience?)

Using MS seems to be a job guarantee. Certainly, in the dynamics
of a corporation, what would it benefit the maverick who pushed for
linux? Likely it would cost him his job. This is a strong incentive to
keep using MS software.
