All the things I mentioned can be done via a GUI as well, don't use them as an excuse to say 'windows is better because it caters to people who can't type a simple string into a text window'.eg. You have crontooie in OS X for crons, you have transmit for SFTP (I prefer taring and scp), and you have quicksilver and spotlight for searching for files (both far superior to windows versions).If the business needs someone to manage a server, they usually get someone technical enough to not be scared of typing a few characters in a window, if you are working with a windows server, you can use those windows tools in OS X. If you are working with a UNIX server and the guy needs a GUI to work, obviously he does not know how to use UNIX.
minus the thousands they just laid off...One is probably all they can afford...Lets see how many unemployed people run out to pay $100 for Windows 7 now!
