Larry,

Based on my readings, there is strong evidence the issues related to 
CVS is cross the board (whether thats is believed to be true or not).

Sure, I will venture Windows people, who generally are not *nix 
wienies, will have more trouble simply because the ported tools is 
geared towards the *nix person - or at least the documentation, if 
any, is.  Thus, unfortunately, its fairly common to hear the mindset 
you exhibit - Windows people are the idiots.

However, by the same token, most reasonable people, especially by 
those with experience on both ends, are usually more keen about all 
this.  So on the flip side, it is not uncommon to see when *nix people 
come to the windows platform quite often ask questions most pros will 
often view or deem as moronic.  All you have to do is visit the 
Microsoft newsgroup and you see it all the time.  Here you will see 
more Window morons, over there, you will see more *nix morons.  So 6 
in 1.

My take, Windows people are more friendlier. We are still the majority 
in this world, but we don't have that sense of superiority, the *nix 
wienies often exhibit.

I guess I expected a little more tact and professionalism here and not 
this obvious subversive CVS vs CVSNT atmosphere.
