Weak argument...
Microsoft products are extremely nimble and robust. I look at a firewall like ISA Server 2004. It gives my MCSE's amazing results using wizards to lock down our network. I look at a product like SQL Server. My MCSE's dont need to understand it because it does everything automatically. Why do I want something like Oracle where I have to manage initialization files and scripts? My MCSE's demand ease of use. My rep delivers the products, I sign the checks. Everyone is happy. In the words of my rep, "If there is no GUI, you should not have to worky".
