FreeBSD is very good in hardware support now, with most of drivers being
very stable and high performance.
for now there is no such thing, except ReactOS which is in early alpha
state.
Have you used, erm... Linux? Both Linux and FreeBSD run pretty much at
hardware level. You benchmark either, you'll get very close results in
speed and scalability. Both are well optimized.
Unix is for servers, Windoze/OSX is for clients. They're much better
clients than Unix. Cut and paste still doesn't work well in Unix GUIs.
Think about that.
Uh . . . what?
I'll try pasting something:

Yep, works great. In fact, I *love* that middle-click paste thing, and
on the rare occasion that I find myself sitting down in front of an MS
Windows machine, I find myself quickly lamenting the existence of
middle-click pasting, and start wondering why MS Windows is such a
primitive excuse for a "desktop" operating system.
I don't know where you get the idea that MS Windows is so good at being a
"client" and FreeBSD is so bad at it.
