You also do a lot of work on microsoft windows, you use microsoft windows yourself, and you buy software for microsoft windows.
I don't quite understand where you are going with this. Yes, I am an IT. I also work on products made by palm, blackberry, 3Com, Cisco, HP e.t.c
I would think it's quite obvious - it's a double standard. Either it's OK to be involved with microsoft, or it's not. You can't have it both ways.
I personally use SUSE as my main work desktop at work. But I also use an XP desktop so I can actually troubleshoot first hand the apps in the OS environment that 99% of the users use. There is no shame in that.
No one at work could care less what I personally use as long as I get the job done. I have also never heard of a place where the IT guy can tell the CIO what the company should buy and what they should deploy.
That means you feel it's OK to be involved with microsoft. So, if you feel you should have the freedom to be involved with microsoft, why do you condemn Novell for dealing with microsoft?
