The distinction you are making here is one that exists only in your head.

I realize that on the whole BSD users are more experienced and mature than linux users, but that doesn't mean using BSD makes you mature. When you refer to windows as windoze, and try to pass off NT as being the same as 9x, and worse when you make just plain wrong statements about the OS, its a step back for the whole BSD community, bringing us closer to the l33t sysadmin wannabes that plague the linux community. > > MS.
