But as Micro$hit knows, being able to check off feature boxes is
important.  Here, the CS dept encourages people that own a PC to install
a Unix at home (we are still 100% Unix based for classes).  When I push
FreeBSD, I get asked if EGCS comes with it.  I say no not by default, but
we have a very easy to add version of it.  They say, why go through the
trouble if Linux already has it by default.  Same for our support
people.  They are the laziest and most non-computer enthusiast group I've
ever seen.  Path of least effort is what wins with them.
