That is not necessary in order to admin your own box.  Folks don't go 
out and get an MSCE in order to use a windows box.  I will admit, the 
general Linux install usually requires more technical knowledge then the 
average Windows install.  Then again, not a whole lot of folks install 
windows either, it's usually preinstalled.  I've got two windows boxes 
left here, and they were both a nightmare to get properly installed. 
Both had problems with drivers, that caused things to not work, unless 
the hardware was put into the box in the proper order.  Having to add 
hardware piece meal for an install, which then requires multiple 
reboots, is hardly user friendly.

I'll give M$ credit when they deserve it, I've yet to see they do. 
Although I know many folks believe I'm a narrow minded, rabid Microsoft 
basher, that is far from the truth.  I have done extensive research 
regarding these issues, and have come to a well researched position.
