If we compromise NetBSD because of WinDoze users, I'm against it.
(Wine doesn't get better if pure water into it ;-)
If it is something like taking a different name for a directory,
I don't see a big deal, just change it.

And for the most companies & hobbyists, it shouldn't be a problem to get
some more
computers for just running NetBSD.
And stuff which is running native, is much easier to use !
just my .02 cents,
cheers,

P.S. BTW, I would like to mirror NetBSD with our Win systems, because
they are
much better attached to the internet (BANDWIDTH), and my NetBSD ist just
on
an analog line. But I can better live with a slow connection, than with
a
NetBSD getting worse because of some windoze emulation layers ;-)
