This is really sad...
It is truer that Unix administrators have a very tough job, and they do it very well, I have seen this a lot but there are some things that need to be clarified here:
Windows Administrators also do a great job and we rarely write scripts because 1. we have tools that we can use to do the same thing or we know where we can find a good tested script and edit it to our needs. Has for Microsoft borrowing ideas from Unix and others, What is wrong in that? In today's world we are constantly influenced by the world around us and Microsoft is no exception. It might sound very strange to you but most of us find things easier with the Windows File System, and if we need a single place to search we just search the entire computer. The number of tools that are available to a Windows Admin is Hugh and growing, almost all of them help people to be more productive. Most Windows Administrators I know have a passion for taking a holistic view and supporting/learning things that help take I.T to the next level in the company. Last but not least do think about the fact that if Unix is the best and I am not denying that, how is it that in 40+ years of development/evolution it is unable to make solid inroads to the desktop segment? A good windows Administrator who is upto date on technology can actually spend time with family and friends as he/she does not need to worry about postmortems but only about the living. A healthy respect for all Operating Systems and their focus areas is a must for all Administrators from all platforms.
