incompetent or liars because they were employed as windows tech support\administrators and don't know how to use lunix? just because you use lunoox, doesn't mean everyone else does.
Then obviously the manager was a retard, and anyone who accepted to install linux while clearly nobody had a clue about linux was a retard too. It has nothing to do with GPL.
imagine you are employed as a java developer or somesuch. then oneday your boss decides that java sucks and everything should be done in perl. does it mean you are incompetent because you have never programmed in perl and have no idea how to do anything in it?
Well if my boss decides that, then I'm either fucked or I have to learn perl.
Too bad learning perl shouldn't take more than 5 to 10 days, if you already know a language such as java. (which sucks)
It's true your manager did a major mistake suggesting linux since all the employees where windows tech support/admins. I mean that's an obvious and blatant mistake.
