I agree.  Here on my tiny LAN, FreeBSD is my server (and it never crashes!),
Windows NT is my main desktop, and Windows XP is my secondary desktop (I had
to buy a machine with XP because some things nowadays are not supported on
NT, such as Firewire, USB, many recent software and hardware products, and
so on).

I believe in using the right tool for the right job.  FreeBSD fits in as a
server very nicely indeed; Windows fits in as a desktop.  Neither the Mac
nor Linux seems to fit in for anything, so I don't use them.
