Hell, we can do what everyone else has been doing for a while. Come up with a catchy name, file for a patent and profit. Never mind that people have been using FreeBSD+X as a desktop OE for over 3 years (well, I'm speaking for myself here, but I imagine others have as well), there's money to be made!
