Correct me if I'm wrong, but... a) the goal of FreeBSD isn't to become a marketed product, per se... and b) FreeBSD already IS an alternative to marketed OS's. > If you will make WINE a hidden component in > the operating system and tell everyone about the new > compatability you will make a difference in operating > systems of future computing. Disturbing... a) why make Windows out of a system that isn't Windows? If you need=20 it...why not just run it? b) I don't WANT invisible compatibility. I don't need the virus=20 propagations and hacks for one OS showing up in another one. I *like* knowing that I can have a virus binary on my system sandboxed=20= tightly in because it *can't* run on my platform. I regularly test=20 some of my mailscanners and AV implementations using files saved on my=20= OS X system. > Make a difference and > change the way operating systems work by taking this > advice of mine and you will have a flawless operating > system of sorts.

Focus on=20= the strengths that work best for the =10OS niche, and you'll have a=20 usable system for that segment...at least that's my philosophy. I've=20 been wrong many times before though :-) > if you make this a special component in the operating > system. We can acomplish!

Me, I'm happy with my servers=20= running FreeBSD and Linux and my notebook running OS X and I tolerate=20 the servers the end users use with Win2k :-/
