OT: Bush was briefed on the secret Codes to launch a nuclear attack. I hope he doesn't get the numbers mixed up when he calls home, pushes the wrong buttons and starts WWIII

I think economics determines hardware purchases. I find it hard to believe that a company can argue about spending money on 100,000 NT workstations and servers as a more economical choice than Sun servers delivering web based content to web browsers. The money saved from NT licenses by using Linux clients could more than pay for one Sun server. It sounds that your company is locked into software that demands Microsoft clients and servers, and the transition cost to Sun is high, not that it is not economical under certain circumstances.
