Hmmm, I wonder how Windows succeeded then. I understand your point, but the lack of additional third party software on the install CD hasn't hindered Microsoft any.

Maybe someone could make a "Desktop FreeBSD" CD, with various useful and popular packages for the desktop user. Sort of one CD version of the Toolkit geared towards desktop users.
