Well that is only because NT stands for "No Training", and most executives
believe that.  Though if you look at the down time of NT systems which in
turn effect the productivity of the personel within the company, and
factor in that cost, the cost of paying a decient salery for a trained
unix admin is far cheaper.  Oh, and lets not forget all the other
complaints about NT.  But this is a little off topic.

I will just state that samba running on linux has proven to be much more
stable (for me) than nt itself.
