Exactly.  A production machine is _very_ different from a fun-and-games or hobby
machine.

Just as the thought of replacing FreeBSD with NT to run my production Web site
chills the blood in my veins, so the thought of trying to get FreeBSD to replace
my Windows desktop seems fraught with peril, and it serves no useful purpose.

Every OS has its niche.  And the FreeBSD niche is not on the desktop ... that's
Windowsland.
