I have this vision of Microsoft running training camps in the desert for Open Source Infiltration where they teach hand-to-hand fighting, demolition and how to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.

As a FreeBSD user I'd ask you to think a little harder. Why do you want Linux to fragment? Why wish their efforts, which cross-pollinate with the *BSD all the time and which have benefited us hugely?
The difference between Linux and FreeBSD is one of philosophy and style, not or religion or technical merit. Stop acting as if it's a children's gang or a football team.
Mind you, the Linux heads who bash FreeBSD are just as silly. No need to fall to their level.
Heh, like Microsoft and their pundits have been saying about UNIX-like systems for a decade or two now? Right.
There will be *BSD machines running continously from now until four or five years time.
Will all the same distributions be there? Maybe not, though I rather expect to see a few more rather than a few less. Don't forget that in the current world a marginal position means hundreds of thouands and maybe millions of installations.
Incidentally, has anyone noticed that the real fanatic Linux crowd are getting just as arrogant as Microsoft or IBM ever were?
