I think this one would better look like list of major features with os 
comparison, like:

= Networking =
  * IPv6: major support, best stack around.
  * SCTP: full kernel implementation, still no userland support (i.e. 
ssh doesn't work over sctp by default yet).

= Data storage =
  * ZFS: full support, datasets, compression, dedup, other stuff. Linux 
has LVM (?features...) and btrfs (?unstable.. ?features..), Windows has 
dynamic disks since XP (?features).

= SMP =
  * (?something about comparing other shedulers with SCHED_ULE), (?some 
rt stuff), (?some comparison with other interesting shedulers, like 
DragonflyBSD and QNX).

  If that page would be updated at least monthly giving fair comparison 
with other os'es it could serve a big pros list for preferring FreeBSD 
over other systems.
