A few errors here:
Changed "the kernel plus source code..." to "the kernel and..."
Made the three red sections parallel (sort of).
Zapped a superfluous "to".
Finally, fixed an effect/affect goof -- you'll find that the previous
verbiage mistakenly refers to Microsoft's marketing strategy and not to
FreeBSD's developers.
