The same as using a lot of the other Microsoft stuff: you can pay and have someone fix $problem on a deterministic timescale. You can upgrade without having to fear your production system will come crashing down.

Really? When did MS start fixing bugs for their paying customers in a deterministic timescale?

The point about upgrades may be good, but MS has started breaking things on update recently too.

For years.

You open up a crit sit that is tagged as a product defect and they will turn fixes around quickly.

If you are strategic to them, they'll fly in people.

Huh, I've done both of those with Linux for more than a decade. Can you name some features more unique to Microsoft?
