Unix users are complete nerds then? Does that mean Linux users are uppity pedants?

Well, the correct name for Linux is GNU/Linux, and of course, GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix", so technically speaking....
Oh, bugger, have I just proven your point, Punky?
Getting back on topic, I've not watched the podcast but I'd be wary about anything supposed to promote cross-operability when MS is concerned, as they have a habit of taking open standards that others have adopted, modifying them to make them incompatible with the standard, releasing them as their own Microsoft-ised version, and then using their dominance of the market to dictate which version of said standards should be carried forward.
