Yes, more FUD. No one, including the OP has ever produced a single shred of proof that Microsoft would discontinue support for operating systems other than its own. While it certainly has every legal right to do so, it would be counter productive to seriously entertain that notion. While they would most likely would not produce any binaries specific to FreeBSD, but then again, no one else ever did either, supplying binaries for Linux would certainly be advantageous. The frame work is all ready in place and there does not appear to be any movement or reason to disassemble it A simple check on the business model of "Skype" in Microsoft's software arsenal would lead one to the conclusion that continuing Skype support/development on non-Windows operating systems was advantageous. No one has come forth with a suitable thesis to dispute those facts although the usual "sky is falling" from the usual naysayers is still prevalent. --=20 Jerry =E2=9C=8C jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
