If I didn't know that much about Linux (and I really don't) and my job depended on hundreds of people working as efficiently as possible, I would surely go with MS. If, or when, something goes fubar, I can always tell my CIO "hey, it's Microsoft...what else can I do?" These statements and stories are enough to get someone to stay where they are.
