Strongly disagree. It's sinking SCO and Solaris, and it'll sink FreeBSD
as well if FreeBSD is not promoted as a superior alternative. Remember,
as Stewart Alsop said at the Senate hearings, there are many people
who would prefer that there be *one* standard platform out there. And
there are others (talk to any commercial developer!) who will *only*
develop for the platform with the best numbers. These tendencies
will work against FreeBSD -- in spades.
