This dependes on the level of under-staffing. Windows does not need more
administrators than *NIX, but it needs more support techs per workstation.
> ... Linux administrators cost a lot more than Windows administrators

They should. Good ones will. Windows it trying hard to sell itself as
something you can hire a 20 year old with a paper MSCE for $20k to run. Linux
should be administered by someone with some time in the trenches and some idea
of his own worth. He should not be willing to sleep under the desk or work
sixty hours a week to keep the network up - he should be smart enough that he
doesn't have to do either.
