Why not to have "Powered by FreeBSD" there ? People ! Think positive ! ... and help each other. my point of view is 1. asking Hotmail people to move to NT _is_ bad. It's not my business what do they want to use, is it ? 2. putting that logo at www.hotmail.com will promote FreeBSD a bit. anyway they have "Microsoft" there already. > > -- > Will Andrews > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
