Some of the programing models in NT are extremely useful. For example, the fact that almost every object in the system (FDs, sockets, threads, processes, events, mutexes, critical sections) comes in the form of a handle you can shove in an array with other handle types and wait on is something I think would be very usefull to have in FreeBSD. >b3n -- Justin T.
