My bitter point is, that your answer along with many others does not make it constructive but tries to offend ( MS, bad decisions, etc..). It might be a bad decision and might be not - and since you're not a spokesman for the freebsd project, your "why" might be as well irrelevant as mine. Ted Mittelstaedt in his response to this subject gave good reason against the change, and although I'm not quite satisfied, I agree to his reasons - but not to yours. -- Sincerely, Dmitry --- www.karasik.eu.org --- Life ain't fair, but the root password helps. - BOFH To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
