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.

Ok chaps, you're all right and I'm wrong. Please let this die and sorry for opening my yap. The way I install servers and the way you install servers is obviously different. I like having X Windows on my servers and you don't. I like having GUIs for Gnome and you don't.
The only OS that doesn't install any media stuff is FreeBSD (or OpenBSD/DragonFly/NetBSD). With the BSDs you can install X and get xterm + twm. In Linux, invariably if you install X, you get the whole desktop environment.
