True that. That's huge. The biggest sentence in the whole post. That's your thesis, right there. Those are the people who are married to IE and MSFT Office. You can't even get them to install OpenOffice, and if you want to run FF, you better smuggle it in on a thumb drive. And there are a lot of these MSFT trained folks out there. One only needs to make one call to the help desk of any large corporation to find this out. Or try to start a new project.

There's a horde of "IT" people out there that barely deserve the title of 'Technician' (much less 'Engineer'). The only education they have or seek is strictly vocational.
