Wind River To Stop Selling BSD/OS
David writes "According to an article on Bsdnewsletter.com, OS company Wind River has said it will be stopping sales of BSD/OS on this December 31st, and product support exactly one year thereafter. Only 15 more weeks to grab the final 5.1 update before this piece of history might be gone forever..."
Couldn't resist. Much love for FreeBSD btw.
For every annoying gentoo user, are three even more annoying anti-gentoo crybabies. Take Yosh from #Gimp for example.

BSD is not dead, it's just homeless for the time being.
Please expect this fine OS to be smelling a bit ripe at your nearest highway exit ramp with a sign that says "Will boot for partition space".
The "bsd is dying" rumours are taking on a life of their own.
It's almost as bad as the "Apple is dying" nonsense that's been going on since 1984.

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered "*BSD is dying" community when the latest Netcraft survey plainly stated that *BSD accounts for nearly 2 million active sites, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The "*BSD is dying" trolls are collapsing in complete disarray.
Fact: "*BSD is dying" is dead
That's the point. BSD is dying.
*ducks quickly*
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
Actually, they're really a "aquire and kill" company
I prefer SCO's policy of "Aquire and Rape" to WindRiver's more liberal leanings.
So anyone know what will happen to the source?
it will probably be copied into the linux kernel.
