I'm using FreeBSD solely as a desktop computer. I chat on IRC with XChat, doing website-development with Quanta, making graphics with Gimp, playing my ogg-converted CD-collection with XMMS, stay in contact with my friend with Licq, Browsing with Mozilla and Konqueror, mailing with KMail, doing reports, esays, articles with OpenOfficeWriter, budget, data-analysis with OOCalc. And all within the nice KDE-environment and no constant crashes. And ports makes installing and updating of apps a real charm. I feel *I'm* in control of my computer, and not vice versa (I feel boxed ind w. Windows). I can do everything I need and want to do with FreeBSD/KDE. But Windows is better? ... what am I missing out on?
