*nix vs. Windows is the most annoying one when done by people who didn't contribute to any of those operating systems. 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

I don't have to have made the beer to have appreciation
for the taste of a good beer over the taste of a bad one.
Life is too short to drink skunky beer.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Considering all the hours I have spent generating reports 
over the last couple of weeks on the infected hosts on 
the network from the last batch of worms and other 
cybernetic beasties, I really appreciate my Linux 
workstation and the fact that I can run my WinBloze 
applications (i.e. Microsoft Office) under 
&lt;a href="http://www.codeweavers.com/home/"&gt;
CrossOver for Windows
&lt;/a&gt; with little to no fear of catching something 
nasty.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And I don't generally get into religous wars over it. This
is as pragmatic as it gets. Right tool for the job has 
been my mantra for the last 20+ years I've been in the 
biz.
&lt;/p&gt;
