I don't mean to be argumentative, because I agree pretty much with the
entire intent of your article.  However, I just need to make one
point, and hope I don't start a new tangent.  Although I love NetBSD
and run it exclusively on my main machine at home, Windows NT is the
most reliable operating system I have used.

I'm not saying it's better.  God knows I curse missing functionality
in it daily, but it is more reliable, IMHO.  And, Microsoft is gearing
up major advertising pushing Windows NT as the server OS of choice.
So... you read the cards.

Anyway, I return you to your regular tangent.
