No need to prove anyone wrong.  The only point in the posting was that
Apple was insulting the foundation of their own OS, because it includes
pieces of what they were making fun of.

But outside of marketing, I think Apple is doing good work and is trying
pretty hard.  I hope the IOKit ideas work out.  Right now there isn't
much going on with x86 drivers, and it's too bad some of the x86 drivers
for Rhapsody didn't get ported over to Darwin.
