Please, it maybe your own opinion; however, this kind of insult does hurt all the people around the world who has been sharing ideas and enthusiasm to promote and help free souls, like most of freeBSD users. I still use Microsoft and various other UNIX type ( Red Hat, freeBSD, Irix ) at home and work. I have found that with amazingly little financial award, these wonderful people at freeBSD has been able to come up with amazing product which to help people like you and me. Also, with regard to unreliability, you should try using Windows, any windows, then you could see which is far more superior. In fact, even with same UNIX variance, Red Hat and Irix could not top the stability and reliability I can expect from freeBSD. Why don't you just think about it? With no financial rewards, these people were able to top many industry grade OS by large margin, purely from their joy of doing the job right. Frankly, I found no reason for your complain. Also, given all the bloody Window only devices out there, I am actually surprised with amount of device FreeBSD supports. > The issue's about FreeBSD is better then LInux or Microsoft to bring out its > C# to FreeBSD etc.etc. make me worry a lot. > As intrests in FreeBSD tent to grow so is the FreeBSD developers and > community hunger to power and money. It may be possible that some would go to that road; however, I don't believe so, because, if they have choose to do that, they would have done it long time ago. Do you think MS is the only player in town? Sun, SGI to name a few, they are all UNIX shop looking for any advantage they can add to their UNIX OS. I gurantee you they been trying to attract many of the freeBSD talents.
