I guess it really comes down to what they are planning to run on their Windows boxes. Don't think you can run Aces High or Doom 3 on Unix.

Actually you can run Doom 3 on Linux.

And you can run Aces High on Lindows, but would you really want to?

Skuzzy, you are right, unix/linux is easier to secure...maybe because it was meant to be a part of the network.

but this does not make windows unsecure. as i said, if you armove a flawed stuff and secure windows box well, it's pretty good.

Stability is another case. Unix-like systems are by fare more effective (as i'd call it).Then i'd say AD (based on ldap) and AD-like mamagement makes windows (in my eyes) by far better back-office system. everything about windows AD is just great

You could try ISA server as a firewall... but after playing with it for about a year i say, it's nowere close to what unix/linux can give you.

Can't say bad word about the XP's stability; this PC has been making avi's from some of the DVDs I have in my collection for few days running at 80-100% CPU-load all the time.
Add surfing in the web, checking emails, chatting with friends via ICQ and MSN, listening music etc etc... I'm satisfied.
