We all have the resources that MS offers: Licenses, Support, etc. from Dev tools to Databases to OS. I just can't see the need for us - at least for now - to go to other technologies java for instance, especially that Philippines is a Microsoft country. To me, the idea of 'INDEPENDENCE' is in a way PRIDE on our part. It's obvious that you need to have hardcore tech guy to have Linux installed and run in your networks. Our company is a software development company, so instead of focusing on the maintenance of the OS which is counter productive, we might as well focus on the development of our softwares so we could deliver them on time with minimal glitches if not zero.
