I didnt find the second posting you posted to have too much real content worth repsonding to.

Satisfaction: thats like statistics - you can find whatever you want to see. The people calling him to convert from NW to NT are those that are naive and believe that they should be following what the trade press tells him/her to do. These individuals dont generally have a mind of their own and dont perform proper business requirements then compare that to the OS that can best deliver those requirements.

Certification: Did he ever think that there is more books on the selves for NT because NT is more difficult to understand and keep running properly. Generally an irrelevant factor.

Price: With the exception of small mom-pop operations, most companies dont or shouldnt look at purchase price as a major factor in picking an OS. That is by far the smallest cost that they will encounter. Selecting the wrong OS will hammer them hard in long-term operational costs which have the largest impact on TCO. And as for the price differential, as far as I remember, the price between similar NW and NT user licencing is extremely close. Not this wide gap that this poster identified.

So I dont this posting as a poor posting.
