I think netbsd is better for server stuff, and windows xp is better for most desktop users.
I can use xwindows or telnet to connect to a *nix box if i need to use *nix, though so far i haven't had too, theres nothing i need that i can't get on XP, and i'd consider myself an industrial power user.
I'm glad to see him say that, its what people have been saying for ages, and it'll keep linux firmly implanted in the small minority of like minded individuals for the most part. He of course realises that in order to stay in business its going to have to happen, it'll become more and more like windows, i often see peoples linux desktops that are a clone of windows. OSX is doing what linux didn't imho.
Its horses for courses, you choose whats best for the situation, but i can't see a reason why i would choose linux over netbsd if i needed it, (and i'd probably end up using windows server which i do), but for a network computer or internet server, i'd use netbsd.
