is head of IT at Burlington Coat Factory in trouble?

clothing retailer Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp. to buy 1,250 desktop PCs running Linux as its operating system software


Not that I want to get involved in the endless NT-vs-Unix Holy War that seems to rival those that the US sticks its nose into, but according to a story I read Burlington Coat Factory was already a Unix house and never even considered NT, let alone switch from NT to Unix. This is a case that would seem to support the claim that Linux will hurt commercial Unix.
