I disagree, if you go with M$ then you will be POOR.....After you buy
the WWin98/ME/XP for the workstation or a Win98/ME/XP CD for each 
workstation, 5+user NT/Win2k/XP-Office license, IIS license, SQL
license, BackOffice/Office 2k, FrontPage, Publisher.....and the list
goes on.

Expect to pay hundreds of $$$ every year for the office software.  (We
save a lot of money by using Linux)  
M$ is really cracking down on people who share or borrow software.  M$
wants everyone to buy their own software, 
give the programmers the money they deserve.  The programmers don't get
all that money, M$ pushes programmers to 
insanity and sometimes suicide to get the products out by the designated
deadline.  Several of the programmers 
have a cot and overnight bag next to their desk and work around the
clock trying to get their part of the project done.
The programmers do make a lot of money creating software for M$, but
look at the cost that it takes to get the job done.

Just a different point of view and my opinion only.  ~Ironrose
