I don't think the Logo should attack *any* operating system, not BSD nor
Windows. As somebody said already: If Linux is so great, why are we attacking
BSD? And if Windows is such a pile of crap, why would we even care to mention
it? Let Linux stand out on its own merits. Action speaks louder than words.

My vote goes for a simple, professionally done and easily recognizable
symbol. (I know, it isn't easy.) Isn't that what a logo is all about, a
simple symbol done with style, which immediately makes the viewer think of
the product it symbolizes?
