What a one-sided view you have!
"When he commented this was a netbook for home use, I ordered my MCSEs to block his email account and VPN access. Realizing he was wrong and embarrassed, he submitted his resignation".
What you have done is not ethical. Everyone is entitled to use whichever software or OS he/she prefers. Even more so if the netbook is decided for home use. There is no damage done when you are using a computer that is safer than the rest on the network, so what harm could he possibly have done by having the netbook at work?
It is people like you that cripple the alternatives. Different OSs, different choices, thats what people need. A lot of people don't like linux, but I've got more than a few to like it more than Microsoft.
I am a VS.NET user, I build on framework 2.0 from Microsoft and I have nothing against them. It is an effective business model. Nonetheless, you must not harshly judge Linux, because it has progressed a lot in the last years and you will see quite a change in the following ones to come.
Please, no one-sided views here. Be tolerant.
