Linux techie, or Windows techie?

.... why mess around with recovery console and picking at a couple files when you can just, as Ron Popeil would say, "Set it and forget it!" Especially in a college environment, sometimes it is easier just to replace the image on the drive and not think about it again...

Damn right, that's real life for you. Turnaround on a sysprepped Win2k/XP ghosting and readding to the domain - 20 minutes. 100% clean. Saves a lot of time in a time-short environment, whereas investigation could take hours. Now if the same thing happened on 2 or 3 machines then you go investigating.

I don't really think there's a such thing as a "Windows techie" because if you know about Windows, you know how much it sucks, and get away from it.

Not true either. I work with some really techie people, all windows. While it is true that you can fake it far more easily in a windows environment than for instance linux/Unix, that does not exclude techies from being Windows techies. And don't forget techies get the same thing as users - Using something all day everyday makes it familiar enough that you won't want to work with anything else.

I'm more of a windows techie, because I used it for about 6 years now. And i only started using linux recently.
