I think some do. The idea was not to start a pissing match with linux or
NT. It was simply to point out the fact that FreeBSD works harder than
other OS's based on actual, verifiable, servers. And I think as previously
mentioned we have to pick our target audience. Which someone suggests
should be corporate america. And I agree with that. We cannot take the
desktop if someone donated 20 trillion dollars to FreeBSD Inc. tommorow :)
But we can take server markets, and alot of non-desktop markets. We just
need to focus and pick and choose our fights. And we NEED PR. We need to
start being visable. More so than we have up to now. Thats my thinking
anyway. We are gaining no ground. We need to change this and I think a PR
offensive is our best choice right now. It certainly cant do any worse
than our invisible image now :)
