>Indeed I agree there a jobs out there for Orcale (which I know), etc...but heck 90% of the time you even have to send your resume in MS Word Format. Face it...if your in the computer biz you're NOT going to have a choice, you're going to HAVE to have some type of MS knowledge and products. Unless you want to work on mainframes or something you're never going to find a job without some MS skills, right?..and for that matter even those people are going to shy away from you.
>and yes it's somewhat hypocritical - hense the term "monopoly"!
As anti-Microsoft as the Linux/Java/Oracle world is, I would be surprised if they insisted on MS Word. Even if they do, check out StarOffice from Sun.
