100 to 1 is the norm for Windows, with a few techs set aside for the exec
to care and feed for them. Problem with Windows is that you spend so much
money for shitty half ass managment application and spend most of your
time managing the managment appliation. With Linux you just need ssh/rexec
and a shell to manage 100's of systems with endless flexiablity.
