What percentage of the desktops are intel/AMD based? If MacOS X is _THE_ Desktop BSD, can it be ported/converted to the majority of the installed desktops? If not, can someone/some_company/some_group do to intel/AMD desktops what Apple did to MacOS X? I know the driving force of FreeBSD is toward servers. Apple was able to make it a desktop OS. I like it as a desktop OS on my intel hardware but I have a lot of time to spend. Even with the time, I still can't get everything to work as I would like. If it was a better desktop OS more people would notice it and would recognize the name FreeBSD. When I tell most people that I do not use MS Windows, I get a blank look and then they ask what I do use. I usually say I use a form of UNIX called FreeBSD. The first thing out of their mouth is, "Oh, Linux!". I then go on to tell them about FreeBSD as their eyes glaze over. That's my point!
