Hey just pointing out that there is other OSes on that network and it is not
wholely MS.
"Please suggest some alternatives that use a real operating system."
I agree MS is a greedy and monopolistic entity that needs to be humbled more

I am all for Linux and Unix making it to more desktops.
Proudly not a bigot ;)
