That's a different discussion entirely. Usually it starts with RTFM. To which I would answer but I did RTFM! But now you're saying well... if it did not work then you did something wrong. Period. The lack of manpower I dig. No argument there. But that does not mean it's fine to release ports that will or even can not install. Again, it's not like it's very bleak but it sure does feel like it is happening more regurarly recently than it did in the (near) past. Feels bad to me. > > So what stability does Micro-Soft has that FreeBSD hasn't? > > Specious question, doesn't need an answer. A specious answer, did you really mean to say I'm a show off? Flippant I could've conde, yet specious... Nah. What I was trying to bring across was something that Bert Driehuis by private email picked up, to wit, that MS software at least would sort of run; whereas I'm beginning to get the impression that the same does not necessarily hold true for FreeBSD ports anymore. Still, to equate a visually pleasing question with a question that does not need answering... Well....
