Well I don't know that I agree with this. Probably the biggest
problem with Windows is not Windows, it is lazy admins.

You either want to do it right, or you don't. Most Windows admins
just want it to work as quickly as possible, throwing caution and
and common sense to the wind.

And no, I am not a Windows hater, I am just someone who used to
make a lot of money fixing the mistakes of all those lazy admins.
