Funny, I just gave a presentation discussing FreeBSD as a desktop os. I run FreeBSD as a desktop OS, my wife's cursed Compaq Presario R3240CA runs FreeBSD as a desktop OS and I convinced many friends (aka geeks) to try FreeBSD as a desktop OS and that was a success. I have 4 computers at home and only one is running XP, and that's for games. Maybe FreeBSD should only be used for servers instead of desktop, but I'll honestly tell you that it does a great job on my computers doing both. At the same time. While making buildworld and ripping/encoding a dvd... Plus I hate the BSOD.
