You are 100% correct, Ken. Reading between the lines in Vitaliy's posts lends me to wonder whether there are forces within his organization trying to influence a koolaid-drunken wholesale leap into a Linux-based solution. I've seen that in a lot of shops. Incidentally, those are the shops that don't end up going forward with a Linunx deployment. The once that do (in my experience with our product set) are the ones that have a level headed approach to using the right tool for the right job.

We generally walk out of the deals where there is brutal OS/platform religious wars because those projects never succeed.
