Ask a developer a directed question about their opinion and you'd expect and answer like this. Don't hold Theo de Raadt "guilty".... this is his professional opinion.

Ask any Linux developer what they think of windows and they'd say "Windows is junk!..If people knew how bad it was they'd use Linux". (Windows developers would reply "If its so bad why is it so much more popular than Liniux?" :-) ). While I'm sure Theo de Raadt was setup to sound "bad" I don't think his comments are out of line. Comparing OpenBSD to Linux is like comparing Linux to Windows. No one is going to get 'offended' about the Linux/Windows comparison...so why the offense of the Linux/OpenBSD comparison?
