Paaaa -- leaseeee!!! I'm so sick of hearing the someone to sue argument. If the US Gov't can't successfully sue M$ for being an illegal monopoly - then I don't know how a business is going to sue them - or anyone else. Plus, there are so many technical implimentation details to hide under - it would take years to sift through all the crap. How many failed IT projects do you think have occured, especially during the bubble? Nowhw many of those companies do you think were sucessfully sued for for the failed implimenation? Actually, how many are even around to sue? The only one who get's sued is the small integrator. You're susceptable whether you integrate Windows or Linux. > > Paul said: >> What is a technician or administrator paid for?
