Windows and FreeBSD are two VERY > different things, with FreeBSD being on top!! > Okay, just to attempt to clear my name, I was writing back to someone who probably didn't have a strong grasp of computer terminology. I was trying to give her something to grasp to. Windows and FreeBSD are similar in that they are both operating systems that run on Intel-based personal computers. I'm aware of many of the differences, which is why I no longer use Windows (or other Microsoft) products when I can help it, which is basically all the time. This really doesn't belong on the questions list so could we all just drop it.
