Promote *ALL* other alternative OSes. Promote the BSDs. Promote BeOS. Promote MacOS and QNX and PalmOS(?) and every other OS.

They all have their place. QNX is a major force in the embedded market. Kicks ass on WindowsCE in every way. The BSDs are incredibly well done and kick NT ass. BeOS kicks everyone's ass in the multimedia department. MacOS is experiencing a resurgence, and is a delight to use.

Amen! And one should note that MacOS X essentially IS a BSD, albeit with the MacOS interface over top of it (actually, Mac OS X is a thinly disguised NeXTStep). The future will have people making a choice between varieties of Unix and the aging and inferior Micros~1 OS.

I say use what you're comfortable with, promote ALL solutions, not just your personal fave.
