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. :)
