As a developer in the MS world I think I might be offended by this

But from my experience, things are very segmented in the MS world to the point of even tunnel vision. In general the sysadmin don't want to know anything about programming and programmers don't want to know anything about sytem administration. There have been quite a few time that I have suggested solution to "problems" that would not have problem if the programmers had some knowledge of system administration and vice versa. My use of the *BSDs has definitely giving my a holistic approach to the way I do things in the windows world.
