As far as your tremendously insightful "That explains a lot " response, how about you point out why my comments and perspective are less relevant than yours because I don't work as a line IT worker.
I was making no judgement on the quality of Linux vs. Windows. Just stating the facts in the business world.

I've been hiring techs in the SAN, Windows, Vmware, SharePoint, Exchange, AD, SCCM, SCOM, Blackberry and Unix fields for over 6 years now. Best in world level down to entry level techs. I work with tech people don't even know exists. I think that qualifies me to offer a learned opinion on how to best enter the I.T. field and have a long career.

That being said I shouldn't discount your opinion and experience. My bad. Sorry for coming off as a dick.
