Thanks!I would convert my Windows users to Linux if I could, but our killer app is Outlook, voice mail and fax mail integration with our phone system. The biggest problem with Unix that I see is the mindset of Unix afficianado's that think vi is a good editor. GUI's are easier to use than command line interfaces(CLI). Windows errs on the former, and Unix errs on the later. More vendors are offering administration in GUI form, but as an example it takes me a day to build and Oracle server, and 30 minutes to build a SQL Server server. The difference is not the OS, just the difference in Oracle vs SQL Server.
