Vitaliy,
It's one guy running a small business as you infer, and it such a 
situation the second employee is certainly going to do everything the 
first (only) employee does. If you had your own business bringing in a 
few hundred thousand in profit, could you afford to hire someone to 
clean the bathroom? Maybe if you're in the southern US, but that's a 
different story altogether.
As far as his comments about Microsoft products, I think it's at least 
refreshing to see a job ad that doesn't throw out a lot of BS and 100 
three letter acronyms.
I thought a job like this would be extremely good experience for the 
person who eventually wants to run their own business.
