Funny. I work at a place with extensive MS systems and we get lots of complaints and have no shortage of issues aside from the complaints.

I often dream about how nice it would be to replace crufty sharepoint with some web apps on a Linux server do our own in house mail.

I guess the grass is often greener on the other side of the fence.

But for me personally.... I chose Linux. It just works better for what I do and doesn't annoy the bejeazus out of me at every turn with push buttons and hidden stuff like MS products seem to. Maybe I am just more tolerant of open source stuff. But push buttons and hidden settings do annoy me. Text file configuration and the command line. It's fast, it's simple, it's what I like.

It feels very dependant on your company's individual use cases. Sysadmin work is probably going to be easier on Linux, but each time a user has a problem adjusting something it makes more work for a sysadmin.

The best of both worlds would be Windows running on a *nix system I suppose, but that seems really unlikely.

....and don't even get me started on that push button infected bloated monstrosity called IIS......
