Re: Organizations are turning to Microsoft as a partner they can trust.
Have I ever worked in IT? Yes, yes and yes. Wrote my first program in 1972 and been in the business ever since.
Worked for a variety of companies in that time and did stuff ranging from building hardware and writing device drivers to architecting systems that ran industrial plant 24/7. Oh, yes I had to build systems that only used Windows. Server 2008R2 was IMHO the best release. Subsequent releases went downhill fast as far as I'm concerned.
As for the Desktop Windows 7 was as good as it got IMHO.
Luckily in all cases where we hit major snags, someone else had found the problem and a work around ALL without involving MS Support which frankly when compared to many other companies is a joke.
Does that answer your question and why I said ROFL?
