indeed.

"conversion" from windows to unix that way is bad idea.

if you/others will help them, soon we will have another linux - "windows 
competitor" and see discussions or even articles in newspapers about 
differences in windows and FreeBSD like "well, FreeBSD has different 
windows coloration and icons".

Unix is NOT windows competitor. unix is completely different way of 
computing.

Now - linux is windows competitor, and i still remember times when it was 
nice and very usable OS.
