I feel sorry for anyone waiting for 386BSD 0.2. I hope they all gave up years ago. While I admire the ability to grow and change viewpoints, I think I speak for everyone when I say, "what the heck was that all about"? There is no doubt in my mind that NT will be a better financial success than free Unixes. So what? Tell us something we don't know. Since when has financial success ever indicated technical merit?
