Well sorry if I'm getting annoying but I think you face the Unix
world in the wrong manner. Well you expect to find something you are
used to, or something like MS Win you only know. I advise that you
should be more open minded, willing to read and spare time to get
familiar to the Unix OSes that are around. But the advantages are and
the power that these kind of systems offer, which is probably unlimited
compared with the Windowz strict and limited way of operating. If you
really don't want that kind of power (thus doing what you must faster,
better and in a more efficient way) then you are in the wrong place. A
good way to start solving all questions concerning the FreeBSD is its
handbook or the perhaps the FAQ.

PS Try some googling or the freebsd official site for more resources.
I'm sure all your questions will be satisfied.

I'm interested in changing over to FreeBSD from Windows, but I'll have
to say, you guys don't really present a forceful argument to Windows
users of how easy the switch may be. I get knee-deep in FreeBSD jargon
the second I get to your webpage. I need to see an overwhelming argument
that FreeBSD is a perfectly acceptable alternative for home desktop
users who have previously known only Windows.
For instance, if I download and install FreeBSD, will I instantly have a
desktop windowing environment that I can navigate in while I figure out
what's going on? Will I have a browser and way to setup an internet
connection right off the bat? How will I migrate files from other
operating systems?
I understand you guys have been around for a while, but you don't seem
to understand the monumental "fear" involved in switching operating
systems. You need to address those concerns head on from the start. I
need to see several screenshots of apps that I can use as alternatives
to what I have.
Help me (and yourselves) out.
