Hey, feel free to respond with some actual logic rather than name calling
or more "doom-n-gloom" comments.

Try and convince me that commodity systems (Wintel/Linux) are more secure 
than OpenVMS (or HP-UX or Solaris for that matter).

Try and convince me that when you take into all of the application retesting
required  every month because of the monthly security patches that these
commodity systems are not much more expensive than OpenVMS.

In doing so, hopefully you will be able to state that you have real Operations
Support experience in a large Linux/Wintel environment and not just based
on your desktop or one or two local dev boxes.
