"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."
That's my point. GNU types go around shouting at the top of their lungs that GNU is quality and free.
1) it's not quality. Not in any sense of the word. I've not yet found a large scale GNU project that is consistent in its programming style or architecture choices. They're passed around through so many different developers who each have their own ways of doing things that you end up with an unmaintainable mess.
2) it's not free. Not only does it cost far more money in the long run to support because the programs interfaces are entirely inconsistent (see #1. 500 developers each had their own ways of making an interface, and therefore almost every app has a ridiculous mishmash of clashing UI themes), but it isn't even free in the idealogical sense either, since it removes the freedom that developers have to do what they want with their own code.
GPL is a scam perpetrated by sub-par hackers who want to benefit from what competent developers write without having to pay for it.
