Why? I'd personally be happy if Microsoft software was made a lot easier to use by incorporating BSD stuff. Imagine, a Windows 2000 firewall that didn't suck rocks, or DHCP renegotiation that didn't drop all my active connections by default when my modem hung up unexpectedly... It would be nice! The only thing people are really slamming Microsoft here is being hypocritical. Actually using BSD code is an action I support for any value of the licensee string. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
