The current deployment standard in IT organizations belongs to Microsoft. There is ample reason to believe this standard will continue in the foreseeable future. However, not all IT organizations have the luxury of a single-vendor infrastructure, so it is not uncommon for system administrators to have more than just Windows machines providing their business infrastructure. Over the past few years Unix and Linux have been gaining considerable momentum. The migration of servers and workstations from one operating system to another - or even the introduction of a new operating system into the existing infrastructure - has been problematic, mostly due to incompatibilities between the new and existing technologies.
