People aren't as bad as you make them out to be.  I went through a 
similar process a few years ago.  There I was, sitting at my desk with 
my nice shiny Sun Workstation.  There I was, in a Unix development shop. 
  Then they dropped the bomb on us.  They would replace our Sun boxes 
with Windows 95 PCs.

Now there were a lot of unhappy folks, not to mention the fact that as a 
UNIX software development group, we were technical enough to see that 
this REALLY was stupid.

The bottom line is, we griped about it, went the proper protocol.  When 
that didn't do any good, we continued to gripe at each other as well as 
the Windows 'gurus' who were supporting these pathetic excuses for paper 
weights.

The bottom line is, yeah, there were a lot of unhappy people.  Yeah, we 
lost productivity.  But, we still did our job and we still got it done.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
