With the performance of hardware these days the distinction is not very distinct. One of the reasons NT gets chosen in companies is familiarity with the environment from the desktop. Inside the project it's fair enough to focus the direction on producing the best server platform we can but since that drives the quality of the OS up it makes it a good desktop box as well. Publically I think we should make more universal claims as to what FreeBSD is useful for. We don't genuinely believe that Linux or NT are better desktop boxes do we? Paul.
