Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:
> It's about money to them.
For all it seems to matter to many of these "MSFT" obsessed goons, they
might just as well be stockbrokers, rather than software developers.
> No Windows equates to a career change to them
They have a wholly irrational fear of change, based on ignorance and
bigotry.
> as well as a decline in wage.
Actually that's a fallacy based on that same "ignorance". *nix engineers
are amongst the highest paid in the industry, as are those working in
related positions. Indeed this fact is often cited by analysts as the
reason why *nix deployments have higher short to mid term costs, but
with huge savings over the long term due to a better infrastructure.
> They'll fight, but they will eventually lose.
I would argue that the "switchers" will *win*. Only Microsoft, and those
too stubbornly bigoted to change (or at least diversify), will lose.
