where to develops the FreeBSD?
is't desktop?
may be small parts of grants summer 200x year to leave for needs of 
developers in such case

the freebsd as desktop - a waiting many users
but it's develops only as network OS
==========
1.5 year ago, when Kirk McKusick came to Moscow, he has told - that the 
purpose the next years - to catch up linux as with a desktop.
It so? Or not?
If yes - that developments in this direction is not visible...
