In fact this is what happens from time to time. When people hear me
say (mostly in irc), that I use neither Microsoft nor OS-half, nor
Linux, they keep wondering what and why I use NetBSD on my 3 boxes.
Even convinced Linux users get interested and I sometimes send them a
NetBSD CD-ROM offering my help via IRC during installation (because
it's less fancy and polished than most Linux distributions'
installations).
