    Wasn't FreeBSD the only other operating system Microsoft ported C# to?

    they planned to are those plans still alive?

    Didn't Hotmail run for a LONG time on FreeBSD?

    they no longer do. if FreeBSD is so great, why don't they still use it?

    Doesn't Microsoft use BSD code in their operating system?

    telnet.exe and ftp.exe is really not a good example of bsd code use. they used to use the TCPIP stack but have swtiched to another one.
