Oh, god. I'm going to wake up for this mailing list just to say this: You know you opened a can of worms with that one. Because all the nerds are going to step up and say "Well, I run FreeBSD on my desktop! It's totally viable!" Dear nerds, get some perspective. You aren't an end user, and you're masochistic. It's okay, we accept you here. But your individual use case doesn't indicate a place in the market. Your basement isn't a market. It's a basement. Your small company isn't a market. It's a small company. Many companies combined create a market. Back to sleep.
