The point where it hurts them is when I prefer stuffs having FreeBSD support even while purchasing/recommending hardware for windows. I do a lot consulting for companies which have a mix of BSD/Linux and Windows servers. This is more so in case of RAID cards for me, where I would go in for 3Ware rather than Promise or other brands. I must admit though that it is not always possible to follow this rule, but I amke it a point to follow it as closely as possible in the given circumstances. As somebody has already written earlier, one should pick the best tool for the job. But if I have a approximately similar performance options from two or more hardware, my choice would automatically go in for one that supports *BSD. Amitabh
