Unix has its place, as does Linux.
What I find to be more than a little irritating is that the Lusers don't realize that they are using the same "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt" tactics that they accuse MS of using.
"Those studies are misleading".
Entirely possible. However, any study which shows that "Linux rulez!" is probably misleading as well. My own experience is that they are about evenly matched in certain areas, and that there are other areas where they each excel (Linux has it on raw computational power due to lack of overhead, but Windows of course has lots of applications, is more robust, and does more).
MS is being foolish. But then again, so are the Lusers. I've heard comments one way or the other that are very insulting. But the truth of the matter is that whatever works for you is best.
Sadly, if you have a lacking IT staff, *nix OS'es are not the way to go. Perhaps they run a little more stably (debatable). But if/when they break, your cost to fix them is obscenely high in man-hours. If, however, you can afford to keep several *nix gurus in house at all times, then you are all set.
MS's point is that in this day and age where it isn't uncommon to see a company of 200 people have a 2-man IT staff (one admin and one desktop support), it hardly makes sense to be running a needlessly complex *nix server which you can't afford to fix.

This is a real man's OS:Attached FilesLady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox
