Amateurs think about operating system. Professionals think about productivity suites/server apps.
That is not a ding, that is advice.
When you get into the business side of the technology world you have to think like a end user. (No, not a 'remove brain' deal, an actual real end user who does job x.) They don't care one bit about operating system. They care about doing this job. See where I am going?
And, FWIW, as long as safe computing practices are used, Windows OS, especially Windows 7, is perfectly safe for use. We could get into WHY Microsoft stuff is the big target, but we can save that for later if you want. LOL

Also, FWIW, my company supports about 5,000 desktops/laptops and about 500 servers (and growing big time) with a 4.5 person technical staff. We utilize a variety of software tools to help us do this while having minimal on-site time.
Moral? Making money in this business has very little to do with actual technology. It has more to do with process management.
