What GUI are you refering to, a wizard? We still need to enter configurations and whether we use a gui or command line it takes time. Many companies and organizations have a tech staff that can deal with these things.
Most companies however don't. Especially anything less than Enterprise Companies.

windows is server 2003 is over $1000 more where i live.
How much is this again:
Red Hat is it $2,500 or is that just my sight? Lol
Nah, of course it goes up to $2,500, and I don't know enough about Servers to work out the need for different pricing however; I know Windows Server, the one you quoted, will cover anything up to that Red Hat $2,500 version. Windows Server Web Edition is also a cheaper alternative for smaller versions. Eitherway; the price difference is tiny, even without the extra programmers even you said you'd need to Linux. Windows would do all this itself.

Of course they'll work together, these are all Microsoft products! i'm sure redhat and suse work with them across a network. biztalk looks real nice though....
They probably would; but the point is Sharepoint and Biztalk are great products, and while working with Linux through whatever dodgey patches Windows Server 2003 makes it what it is known for. There are advantages of working with one company for all Software. Microsoft show that in their Company - the biggest company in the World using one form of software for everything. Hundreds of Thousands of PCs on a Trans-Continental Network, all Working. Its a good advert is it not?

The apps to which i think she is referring are not linux. In which case it is the apps, and not the OS that are faulty.
Maybe, but again - Windows would have them working.

Haha, I didn't think you did; few people here come over as superior, but yeah. Examples are always useful
I thought while we were waiting for FXs you could do some

the U.S. army uses linux, IBM uses linux. Google uses Linux (I've heard they're making their own os).
And here they are!
The US Army... lets not go there
IBM are dying and Google... well Google... google google google. They're using it because their search needs Operating Systems they can program specifically to do exactly what they want it to do. Google's Linux Operating Systems, as you said at the end, are hardly whatever form of Linux they were downloaded as anymore. They just have the Kernal, probably not even the same Kernal anymore.
