The following is what I usually tell my Windows users when I help them. INUX sysadmins usually can deal with any system, including MS Windows. Actually, everybody can administer MS Windows (not server, desktop/laptop version). However, Microsoft with every system release, renames and reshuffles yet the same administration tools (almost true). Windows admins learn that by heart (and that is part of their Certification, probably), and when they deal with your system they look just brilliant. But you and I can do that too, it just takes us some effort to find yet the same tools we used on older system, wherever they are "hidden" on this new system. This all is truth (almost), and it actually helps my users to feel that they are still on the solid ground as they were with previous MS Windows system.
