If it doesn't work and you can't figure out why you can just blame MS if your boss starts frying your ass. If you've gone FreeBSD and your boss starts frying your ass and you made the push to go FreeBSD instead of NT then you have to be able to stand up for yourself again and again against people that are highly opinionated, base all their technical decisions on rumour, press releases, or marketing lunches, and think that the more you pay for something the better it has to be.
