FreeBSD 4.x has SMP and if memory serves me, 3.x had SMP as well. It's true that the 5.x branch includes a reworked SMP, also known as SMPng, which includes more fine-grained locking, but saying that 4.x branch lacks SMP is misleading to say at least.
This isn't somethinb being developed for Linux, as you make it sound. It'll be readily available on *BSD as well, and at least OpenOffice is also targeted at e.g. Windows. I'm tired of all the narrowminded Linux Zealots...

You are assuming that I have a Win2K box available. I do not, I only wondered, as Microsoft only made some of the changes to IE available with XP SP2.
What does this mean for Windows 2000 users?

You don't have to wait, it's already been done. Have a look in /usr/ports/security/pf and see for yourself.

And exactly what makes the code beautiful? Is it the ugly hacks or the crammed coding style which makes the code unnecessarily difficult to read?
