 If your confident enough in your ability then FreeBSD is great, but
 if you aren't too confident, then NT is great.  If it doesn't work
 and you can't figure out why you can just blame MS if your boss
 starts frying your ass.

 If you've gone FreeBSD and your boss starts frying your ass and you
 made the push to go FreeBSD instead of NT then you have to be able
 to stand up for yourself again and again against people that are
 highly opinionated, base all their technical decisions on rumour,
 press releases, or marketing lunches, and think that the more you pay
 for something the better it has to be.
