Guys, are you working in marketing or what?

Nope, I was only talking about my experience so far...

Statements like Magnus' one show how pleased one can be if using FreeBSD
:p I think there wasn't any marketing envolved, just the fact of using it :)

Well, i have experience of several years using FreeBSD and Linux, and a little
WindowsXP, i like very much FreeBSD, but saying it is ways better than Linux
etc. seems marketing speech to me. I have heard several times that FreeBSD
source code is much cleaner than Linux one, etc. i assume these people have
never actually looked at the respective source codes. As for ease of use for
the proverbial "Joe User" nothing beats something like Ubuntu, not to speak of
Windows. The place where FreeBSD was well above the competitors was
performance. Nowadays nobody serious claims that.
