True. I also have thrown together some things that perform tasks such
as push/pull Exchange CDO information, talk to the NT SAM database,
retrieve file sharing details, etc. Perhaps I can utilize Ruby to
automate some of the migration command line utils that Microsoft has
for migration.

Although I have had to support Microsoft networking OS'es going back to
NT 3.51 I still dislike them to one degree or another. Like when
reading some knowledge base article they have detailing a known "needle
in a haystack" issue that isn't/won't be addressed. From years and
years ago nonetheless.

I like wearing my other hat as in-house app developer a lot better. At
least then I have more control over the bug reports...
