One of these things is why someone invest a huge ammount of time, trying to convince people that Windows is the best desktop system. I guess I shall never understand what gain is achieved if people would agree to this, but for good reasons, they don't. This discussion has crawled to various FreeBSD mailing lists, and, well, if I were convinced that Windows was the better system, I'd stop bugging other people and simply use Windows. I don't need other people's "ok" in order to be able to use what I want to use, after all. I have always disliked any kind of generalization, i.e. I agree with Mike that what's best always depends of what is actually required. In that context, I can guarantee that FreeBSD is the desktop systems that best suits my needs (i.e. gives me what I want), and there are many other people who think the same way. This is called freedom of choice, and we cannot really argue about this, just as we cannot really argue about blue *generally* being a more beautiful color than red...
