  With this, I do agree...I'll take Solaris over that NT trash any
  day...but NetBSD is definitely my OS of choice.  Solaris is Sun's
  MarketWare just as NT is Microshaft's MarketWare...and I don't like
  running MarketWare as a matter of principle...and, lucky for me,
  systems generally classified as MarketWare are generally high-flash
  low-quality systems...like Solaris and NT...when compared to
  something that's really *engineered*...something that's had some
  actual technical thought put into it.
