I am not sure I agree with you regarding your Novell to NT comparison. [Wink]

I left Netware long ago. Once you learn the details of how the NT family of OS's function and master the new toolset used to manage your new environment, you will be very comfortable and enjoy your job once again.

Yes, Microsoft products do have some issues, but they also do other things very well. Time will tell in your case.
