This is very true. Microsoft's attitude seems to be "screw you if you
don't use our products". I can't think of any other company whose
solutions for Internet (most of them), for example, are dependent on the
fact that you use Windows or at least Microsoft Internet Exploorer. I'm
the webmaster for our company and have recently been trying to make our
web sites work hapilly with all our users, but it seems an impossible
task (especially if we're concerned about security) since we host them on
IIS 4.

I'm trying to get the boss to buy me a G3 with Mac OS X server so I can
run Apache, it's getting to that point (I'm even looking into Linux as an
alternative).
