I have to agree with this statement and I believe this is the aim of Barnaby's presentation though he is free to correct me if I'm wrong...
Total agreement here. For those of us that need to interface with the outside world, we will come across different o/s whether we like to or not. What people choose will be based on wide variety of factors, but as a IT professional or even an IT enthusiast, we ought to be interested in the inter-relationships. The playing field is rarely level and technical superiority does not always win -- understanding the circumstance and the game will likely give you an edge in moulding the future. I strongly believe in keeping your friends close and your enemies even closer.
If the presentation is mere propaganda, well that is something I don't really need. Personally, I would treat it much like the tele-marketers that interrupt my evening (you don't want to go there).
