I second that. The PC maintenance people at work HATE Windows. (They only have about 500 PCs to manage at my site, but there are probably 10,000 computers on the entire corporate network at different sites.) In spite of the obscene amounts of money spent on firewalls and virus protection everywhere we've still been hit at least once a year by some Windows exploit. I heard some back room whispering and I understand they've been evaluating SLED and like it. They just have to figure out how to get more clueless managers to agree Windows is the root of the productivity problems.
See, this is where it falls down. Go to your boss and say "we shouldn't be using Microsoft because I hate it", and see how long you keep your job Go to him and say "we shouldn't be using Microsoft because....." and then list the reasons above, and look at the difference Hate is not a reason. The reason might result in hatred, not the other way around I started using linux originally because I thought it was better, and because it allowed me to mess around with the source, so I could learn more. I don't hate anyone or anything
