An end to the proprietary “UNIX wars” of the 1990s. Back then, their
fragmentation allowed Microsoft to sweep in and swallow up the
workstation and server markets.

Today’s “BSD wars” are allowing Linux to come in and swallow up the
workstation and server markets. And they are leaving the BSDs
incapable of expanding into new markets that Linux is also taking
over, like mobile, embedded, storage appliances and supercomputers.
