Are you kidding? Microsoft has one of the best PR machines on the planet. If they wanna do some stuff to promote FreeBSD as a viable alternative to Linux and port some of their software, I hardly see that as A Bad Thing (TM). The people in the Linux and other BSD camps aren't as susceptible as you think. They'll quickly figure out the same things that we have. No one can exactly "blame" us for Microsoft's decision to port to FreeBSD. Also, the FreeBSD community may soon find itself being judged by its reaction to this development and how readily others are welcomed. --Chip Morton At 04:11 PM 6/27/2001, you wrote: >Remember, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
