I agree, especially in corporate environments.  I work converting
companies to Linux, and the biggest argument I get is, "Well, anyone can
setup Windows boxes".  This mentality is the problem.  Sure, it has a
nice GUI, so it looks like anyone can, but there are things to know that
make a big difference.

I don't care if Linux ever gets management GUIs because I would like to
go back to the days when computer people knew what they were doing. 
And, for everyone else, Burger King is hiring :)
