You guys are looking at this all wrong. Sure, the FreeBSD port may, as a useful (to Microsoft) side effect wedge the free software community (although I tend to doubt it). But the real issue here is that it amplifies a major weakness in Microsofts whole.NET strategy: that Windows servers for.NET will suck, and Microsoft knows it.
Think about it. Hotmail still runs BSD (FreeBSD?) as far as I know, on its servers, despite being owned by MS for how long? They're going to keep on running BSD so any C# server-side apps that MS wants to run on those servers (and any of the other BSD servers Microsoft runs) are going to have to run under BSD. Therefore Microsoft has to port C# to BSD.
I sincerely doubt MS would bother if it thought that Windows servers would perform for C# and.NET as well as Microsoft is going to need them to.
Not that they'll ever admit that, of course, but to me this is just further evidence that Microsoft, down in its heart of hearts, knows that Windows just doesn't scale as a true enterprise-level server platform.
Apple would be better off porting OS X server to intels new 64-bit processor, since no one would use this hodge podge OS when you have FreeBSD and its VMS style virtual memory! FreeBSD is fast, powerful, and stable!

Microsoft Executive Says Linux Threatens Their Industry Stranglehold, Competes With Windows
2/14/01 4:57 PM
Source:Bloomberg News
Redmond, Washington, Feb. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Microsoft Corp.'s Windows
bloatware chief, Jim Allchin, says that freely distributed
software code such as rival Linux could stifle Microsoft's innovative
ways of stealing, extorting, and gouging money from it's customers
and that legislators need to understand the threat.
The result will be the demise of both Bill Gates income and
the incentive to support the Dark-side of the force, he said yesterday,
after the company previewed its latest version of eX-Windows. Microsoft
has told U.S. lawmakers of its concern while discussing protection of
intellectual property rights.
Linux is developed in a so-called open-source environment in which the
software code generally isn't owned by any one company. That, as well
as programs such as music-sharing software from Napster Inc., means
the world's largest software maker has to do a better job of bribing
policymakers, he said.
''Open source is an stranglehold destroyer,'' Allchin said.
''I can't imagine something that could be worse than this for our
wallets.''
Microsoft distributes some of its programs without charge to
customers, although it never releases its programming code, except
for experimental research releases of its Research division's IPv6
implementation for NT Foow and Two-Kay, and it retains the ownership
rights to that code. Linux is the most widely known open-source product,
though other programs including the popular Apache system for Web server
computers also are developed the same way.
Corel Inquiry
Allchin made his comments several hours before Microsoft confirmed
that its $135 million investment in software maker Corel Corp. last
October is being reviewed by the U.S. Justice Department. MS/Corel said
last month it willl drop efforts to develop the Linux operating
system, though it will continue to make Linux applications. Corel _said_
it hadn't consulted with Microsoft before making that decision.
Brian Behlendorf, founder of open-source company CollabNet Inc., said
most companies that use the open-source development model do retain
the rights to some of their intellectual property.
''I think Microsoft is trying to paint the open-source community as
being fascist; that all software have has to be free, or none of it
can be,'' said Behlendorf, whose company helps businesses run their
own open-source projects.
Allchin said he's concerned that the open-source business model could
stifle blind ambition and greed in the computer industry.
''I'm an American, I believe in the American Way of beating down and
destroying your competitors at all costs,'' he said. ''I worry
if the government encourages open source, and I don't think we've done
enough education of policy makers to understand the threat.''
Linux Adoption
Some leading computer companies including International Business
Machines Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. are selling Linux- based
products and working on open-source projects, noted Jeremy Allison, a
VA Linux Systems Inc. software developer. He's also a leader in a
project develop an open-source file and printer server program.
Microsoft only began significant bribery efforts in the last few
years. The Redmond, Washington-based company also talks to lawmakers
about issues including the need for more visas for people with
computer skills and computer privacy and security, because people
in other countries who develop for Windows refuse to figure out how to
use CVS.
Linux is the fastest-growing operating system program for running
server computers, according to research firm IDC. It accounted for 27
percent of unit shipments of server operating systems in 2000.
Microsoft's Windows was the most popular on that basis, with 41
percent. But who's counting?
Despite Linux's success in some markets, Allchin says he isn't
concerned about sales competition from the product. Microsoft provides
support to change and develop products based on its operating system
software that Linux companies don't, he said. Companies that use Linux
in their products then must pay someone else for support, he said.
''We can build a better product than Linux,'' he said. ''There is
always something enamoring about thinking you can get something for
free.''
That last statement made this CNET editor wonder if he is a hypocrite or
just another foot-pedestal to the leader of the evil-empire, Gates.
I mean, if he thinks open-source is stifling their innovation and incentive,
then why did he say "We can build a better product than Linux"?
And why have they not yet done so? deerg!
If Microsoft starts seeing you move into their turf, they get scared. When they're scared they'll either buy you out or kill you by competing against you.
Time and time again they've done this... Netscape, Java, Novell, and now... Dreamcast/PS2.
It's like this. When they start seeing network adapters in these consoles, Microsoft start to imagine a day when these video game consoles slowly morph into set-top boxes... and then into personal pc's. This is what they're most afraid of... That these video game systems pushing their way into the consumer pc area, thus threatening their chokehold on operating systems, internet browsers, etc...
Even Bill Gates himself hinted this once. Asked what he'd like to do if he didn't run Microsoft, he said something like "I'll get into a $100 million dollar business that Microsoft isn't interested in". He's basically warning people not to step on his company's toes. Because once you do, they'll move in for the kill.
Remember a few years ago? Microsoft wasn't even interested in doing a video game console... and now suddenly here they are... Doesn't it surprise you that now they're into video game systems?
It's the same game with Netscape back in '96. At some lecture over at MIT he mentioned that Netscape was fast becoming a threat to Microsoft because at the time, Netscape commanded something like 96% of the browser market. And he predicted that they'll start adding "operating system" features into the browser bit by bit, until the day comes when Windows was no longer needed.
Look at Java. Same story. Operating-system-independent programming language? "I don't think so", whines Microshaft. Hmmm... let's kill it by first messing with the language itself by introducing our own "dirty" version of it, J++. And then let's make IE5+ NOT install the Java Virtual Machine by default... And then let's promote and install Macromedia's Flash onto all of our browsers so we encourage the market to use Flash instead of Java to do their "cute little" animations and other client-side stuff... A few years later? It worked. When was the last time you saw a java applet? And when you did, what happened to your browser? Did it not freeze up for like 20 seconds and piss you off?
Sad, but Microsoft indeed does deserve to be broken up.
Technology Overview: SRI's patented EMERALD technology complements a mix of security technologies, including firewalls, cryptography and authentication systems, virus and vulnerability scanners, providing the most comprehensive platform for intrusion detection and other network activity monitoring available today.
... put all that money into an investing account, then use the interest to build big ferries, drive all the trains onto those ferries, and shuttle everything back and forth.
Maybe this is a good idea. Or maybe that is what the KBG want you to believe. Maybe this is the beginning of their grand scheme to conquer the U.S., and overtake the U.S and the final King of the South before the final showdown against God in Armageddon.

May I borrow some money?
Hey, let me holds some ends, I will hit you back on the first, my brother.
You don't have it? Thanks anyway.
Fuck you!
Hello sir.

I admire your fashionable running shoes.
Drop them Nikes off your ass before I blast you mother fucker!
