UUGGHH.....its just a vunerablity they said.... it cant effect
us...its not major.....

I tell them our desktops along with our servers need to be linux/unix
based. Why they keep asking especially since I am actually a MCSE. 
BECAUSE .... you dont get the majority of the viurs's/worms.  They
never listen.  MydoomN hit my work yesterday.  Yeah...nothing
seriously damaged, just email.  but we are a company that handles
people's money and assetts world wide.  Emails make up a big part of
the day to day work.
OK..I quit ranting....I just want to know how to convince them
DUHH....look at the numbers!  I guess I need to dye my hair RED or
BLUE or Orange instead of the blonde and they might listen...or at
least notice!   Frustrated!
