What about personnel functionality?  Many sites only have Windows system
administrators, and no Unix sysadmins.  Legacy Unix servers are OK as long
as they continue to work, but as soon as they break or need to be modified,
there's nobody competent to do it.  I've had to talk customers through
modifying their BIND configurations, and we're lucky if they know how to us
"vi" enough to perform the editing.

It may not be broken now, but I think that companies that think ahead are
being prudent.
