That's true.  BSD is not an issue.  It's a good operating system with a
small, loyal following that doesn't affect us all that much.  There's also a
lot of overlap, a fair number of people who run BSD also run Linux.  If
everyone who ran *BSD switched to Linux today it wouldn't increase our
numbers appreciably.  And we've pulled quite a bit of useful code and ideas
from BSD.

Let's concentrate on the real opportunity for market share improvement,
Win9x.  :)
