Yes, my experience is probably a bit dated.

I'm sorry - perhaps I could've made my point a little more succinct by
saying that an OS-specific approach to learning new technology does not
lend itself to broad deployment. Gav incorrectly implied a dependency
between a server's OS type and the client's OS type (in the context of
IPv6 and web serving), and such incorrect thinking often leads to improper
deployment.
