FreeBSD and DOS/Windows are about as far away from each other in
OS space as you can get, and they currently serve two very different
markets. I don't care how many people run Windows, you're not going
to get me to switch my ISP services with its robust multitasking,
multiuser, integrated network transport layer, zillions of free
applications with source, etc. to Windows '95 or or OS/2. Ever.
Maybe near the end of my lifetime. ;-)
