Unfortunately the image that Unix is too difficult has been very efficiently
propagated so that there is still a large demand to do things that are easy
on Unix, but insist that they must be done on Microsoft systems.  (It can
be very difficult to get even free Unixes accepted over NT in many commercial
organisations, and there is also a lot of pressure to defeat the Microsoft
marketing stance and run things that Microsoft only allow on NT Server, on
cheaper, but still Microsoft, systems.)
