In my experience most CS students tend to drift towards whatever is open source... being that we aren't the most experienced programmers in the world, but possibly have the potential to be in the future, how can you gain more experience than looking at the beautiful code of Larry Wall, Linus, or Kerrigan etc... Here at the college of NJ, the dept is very anti-microsoft. The students first start using Unix then migrate towards linux.
