Seriously, I don't think this message is biased towards Linux. That's the way the Real World sees us, and I don't think it puts us down. I suppose we could point out that FreeBSD has LKMs and is used by some of the world's largest name servers. On the other hand, it does seem a little biased against NT, but it produces some good reasoning. I'd be inclined to ask NC World if they plan to leave the page online, in which case we should link to it.
