Hundreds of debates, countless flames, innumerable passionate supporters, no limits, no ending lines, no result. The conflicts keep on going and going and going. It doesn't matter if it's Cisco's IOS, Microsoft's Windows, Suse's Linux or FreeBSD. People struggle to prove their
platform's superiority ignoring that an Operating System is just a tool focusing on specific needs.

Thanks all guys for blaming and flaming. I really appreciate your help and comments (some were unable to comment). That makes the world a better place.
I know IOS is different than Windows and Unix but it's still an OS and for sure it was lots of bugs. I mentioned IOS just to compare with the number of Windows' bugs. No IOS bug made it on the news so far!
I know the Junipers run on a reworked FreeBSD kernel. That's why i used the word "derived". I know you can effectively use BSDs and Junipers and other rather relying on Cisco. I mentioned Cisco because it's one of the few companies reporting earning even in crisis' days. It's a name that many people know; like Microsoft and Red Hat etc.
Based on the current sistuation, Windows is the dominant player and learning an OS means learning something other than Windows.
As i said an OS -a kernel, a compilation like win and bsd etc- is just a tool! Use damn-stefanos-OS or stefanos-you-are-the-best-OS it doesn't matter. Just get the job done, quickly, efficiently, reliably and cost effectively.
