Look closely at the Linux community and you'll find its mostly 
ex-Windows users focused on what Microsoft is doing. The desire is to 
one-up Microsoft at Microsoft's own game. Their definition of 
"computer" and "human interface" was written by Microsoft and still 
can't think outside of that box.

Look closely at the BSD community and you'll find those who are working 
at creating a better tool to serve their needs. Much debate about 
exactly what constitutes "better" so there is also quite a bit of 
experimenting. What you won't find is Microsoft as the yardstick by 
which BSD's measure.
