- I also suspect fewer "engineers, scientists, and assorted techies" than
- some folks think actually care that much about BSD vs. SV; I suspect
- many "engineers, scientists, and assorted techies" outside the UNIX
- community would be just as happy running, say, Windows NT, as long as
- the particular technical applications they wanted to run were available
- under NT on the platform in question.

- (I.e., don't confuse the hardcore UNIX weenie community with the
- technical community in general.)

- (Yes, I'm sure you can dig up *individual* exceptions. Please don't
- bother doing so, unless you can dig up *enough* individual exceptions to
- show that the bulk of the technical community is truly in love with a
- more BSDish UNIX, or even with UNIX in general.)
