The world's richest man talks about developing new drugs to combat AIDS, open-source software and why Microsoft's still cool after all these years. Gates: "We encourage everyone to develop in our environment. Free software's nothing new... There was an early browser, an early mail program. But as times moved on, it's been the commercial programs that get the support, get the richness."

You install it, configure it and it just keeps running. The vast majority of times, you don't need support
LOL. Thats rich. You might as well paint "I have very little experience with the real world" on the wall with that statement.
I work for a large corporation also. We run some very large scale *nix software on the back-end and guess what, we have a dedicated *nix support group.
You put any piece of software in a production enviroment where hundreds of users access it and you will have support to deal with. I don't care WTF OS you run.
