I have a friend who has been doing server/user support for
windows/linux/novell for about five years. His latest job
is for a school system that is windows only. This past
weekend he claimed that he's "going to the darkside." After
a few moments of awkward silence he explained that XP is
heads and tails above all other MS operating systems in terms
of support. Secured properly with third party lockdown
software, it apparently just "works."
