I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

Yes, you're right, Linux is a monolithic kernel. Funny how well it handles updates though - the only thing I've had to reboot any of my machines to update was the kernel. I'd just like to see the same functionality from Windows.
I think this is more likely because the GUI is tied into Windows. In Linux I can update KDE while in KDE, and restart it to take effect. To accomplish a similar feat in Windows requires a reboot.
Plus a good bit of laziness, where they couldn't be bothered making things restartable :-)
