No, as usual, he's putting back-handed Windows advocacy into the FreeBSD mailing list archives, to stir up FUD, and you are feeding him straight lines, which he's twisting to his own ends. For the record, commercial software is often more buggy than free software, because the person writing the commercial software is doing it to a design he may not particularly like, or even thinks is stupid, and he's just a wage-schmuck implementing a bad design, whereas the free software is written by someone who is doing it for love. If you want to draw a distinction between free and commercial software, start with free software UI's suck, compared to the very pretty commercial UI's. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
