    So... guys who live in their parent's basements and drink the MS 
Kool-Aid.

    Yeah, I've worked with some of them. I find it best to ignore 
them... or if you really feel like it, when they rave about the latest 
virtue in a MS product that brand new... calmly explain how that 
particular "new tech" is actually about 5 to 20+ years old, in the 
UNIX/Linux space... (Most of the time, I have found that to be true.)
