"There are a myriad of both subtle and fundamental differences in the basic architecture of Windows Server 2008, which could dramatically change not only the way it's used in the enterprise, but also the logical and physical structure of networks where it's the dominant OS. The abilities to consolidate servers, to manage hardware more effectively, to remotely manage hardware without the graphical traffic, and to radically alter the system security model, could present a more compelling argument for customers to plan their WS2K8 migrations now, than the arguments for moving from Windows 2000 to Server 2003."

err, how is microsnot doing a good job because there exists third party stuff?
MS bends over backwards to give the best tools, APIs, and environment for commercial application development.
besides, linux supports more hardware devices than vista does, third party drivers included...
Linux may support more legacy hardware, but I call BS on third party drivers. Supporting closed source driver development on linux is pure hell, it requires a re-release for every minor release of the kernel (even bug fixes can break the ABI).

I think one thing that will deflate the jihad from the "linux fanboys" (I call them fanboys to differentiate them from those who use Linux, but don't feel the need to write home about it) is this; end users don't give a toss where the hardware support comes from, as long as their hardware is supported.
I find it a double standard when people complain about application compatibility on Windows Vista or hardware compatibility, its all Microsofts fault. When the same issues are bought up about the lack of third party software or hardware support on Linux, there is this band of people who gather around being apologetic for these short comings.
