...if you're in Windows you can see traces of BSD throughout.
This is actually A Good Thing. OSI never got traction because there was no reference implementation of their network stack, only an ambiguous specification.
If Microsoft had had to write their own TCP/IP stack from scratch, we'd still be trying to work out the interoperability problems, and the Internet would be far smaller / less pervasive as a result.
Look, Ddorkak says he's CONVINCED the guy MIGHT be right. He couldn't have hedged his bet more. There's no bet. He's a troll. WHy do we bother? Oh yeah we're at work and we're screwing off.
A lot of people I know who can be counted on for an SF movie didn't know what it was and from the name of it thought it was a chick flick. With Buffy The Vampire Slayer you instantly got it. With Serenity, if you didn't know, you didn't get it, and the core audience wasn't big enough for the name of the movie to be an inside joke.
That subject is what am MS guy told the ISP I worked for when he was offering us a killer deal for bundling IE instead of Netscape back in '97 or so...
Make no mistake, guys... MS may offer an olive branch, but they haven't take down their phony studies, and what the sales guys are saying to their customers, you wouldn't believe.

If you don't build it, they won't come.

What a doof, picking your OS based on fork speed and, perhaps, kernel rebuild times rather than what apps you use to Actually Do Stuff.
So you traded Photoshop for Gimp, vi for Dreamweaver, Rosegarden for Logic, and, I guess, nothing for Final Cut Pro, but by god, your fork times RAWK.
