No, not M$ - I spent around 20 years in corporate IT ranging from CIO to consulting, programming director, etc. Few M$ machines as they haven't made much of a presense yet in big company server rooms. Mostly mainframe, VAX and Alphas, SUN, etc.

You get used to a certain level of professionalism that is just absent from adult - things like backups, documentation, frequent server rebooting, etc.

But as adult consolidates I am seeing more and more some professionalism creep in, and I expect that large sucessful adult enterprises will slowly adopt IT safeguards such as making sure systems aren't up too long without a restart.
