Now that Microsoft.com, Hotmail.com, MSN.com, and the entire ifrastructure of Microsoft Testing, Development, and Finance, all run on 45,000 Linux computers, you would be wise to learn Linux, as, some 70% of the MS net techs were laid off in the changeover...
Linux runs 78% of all Internet servers, and is in 100% of the Fortune 500 Corporations.
165 Nations, 4200 lessor governments, NASA, DOE, DOD all run Linux, the FBI runs it, the CIA runs it, and the NSA wrote it!
( http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/ ).
One Linux servor takes the workload of 12 Microsfot Exchange units. Savvy business can't afford the overhead of M$!
Try some. Get an edumacation whilst there!

Play - get experiance either at home or with a starter job. MNCs are extremely demanding. Trust me, your job will become your life and you are expected to perform and know what you're doing since there is a very large amount of money on the line if you do not.
Certifications to many managers don't mean anything. They only mean that you can read a book and answer questions about it. What we're really looking for is what have you done? Can you hold a conversation on a topic and not just answer questions? If you know Linux and I handed you a Solaris box, what can you do for me? Can you figure it out? Where would you go for help?
Same goes for Network gear. You may be a heck of a Cisco person, but what if we switch to Juniper next year due to contract reasons? What if we acquire a company that is entirely Nortel? Can you adjust quickly and do what needs to be done in short order?
All that takes experiance and an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. Broad and Deep (yeah, there will be some shallow areas).
But, it CAN be done. I'd recommend starting at an operational support level (command center L1/L2). Get used to the environment, show you can play within the rules yet express your skillz. You'll move up. Ultimately, if you decide operations isn't your cup of tea (not everyone has the stomach for it - it's a very stressful unapprecaited role at times), once you're in, you've got mobility options and references within the company.
Good luck!
