It is a sad day indeed when one must pay more for 'Open' standards' software than for Microsoft-made one.
How can such 'Open' community allow itself to charge MORE than M$? At the very least it's not very business-like. Think: Would we still have HTML if W3C started charging fees for it's usage, and MS came up with something free (or at least cheaper...)?
Threading in FreeBSD 5 is closely tied to the KSE facility. Due to historical reasons, BSD kernels need a lot of work to support multi-threaded and multi-processor environments.
The KSE facility will not, in all probability, be production-ready in time for the 5.0-RELEASE.
