Hell, we can do what everyone else has been doing for a while. Come up
with a catchy name, file for a patent and profit. Never mind that people
have been using FreeBSD+X as a desktop OE for over 3 years (well, I'm
speaking for myself here, but I imagine others have as well), there's
money to be made!
Now only if we could have our own proprietary hardware platform... ;)
Seriously though, I've used FreeBSD/X (hey, neat name there ;)) for 3
years now without a problem.
