Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
a) the goal of FreeBSD isn't to become a marketed product, per se... and
b) FreeBSD already IS an alternative to marketed OS's.

Disturbing...
a) why make Windows out of a system that isn't Windows?  If you need 
it...why not just run it?
b) I don't WANT invisible compatibility.  I don't need the virus 
propagations and hacks for one OS showing up in another one.

I *like* knowing that I can have a virus binary on my system sandboxed 
tightly in because it *can't* run on my platform.  I regularly test 
some of my mailscanners and AV implementations using files saved on my 
OS X system.

Except that it runs Windows stuff. :-p

No OS is perfect if it aims to be all things for all people.  Focus on 
the strengths that work best for the OS niche, and you'll have a 
usable system for that segment...at least that's my philosophy.  I've 
been wrong many times before though :-)

Then wait for MS to fix their problems.  Me, I'm happy with my servers 
running FreeBSD and Linux and my notebook running OS X and I tolerate 
the servers the end users use with Win2k :-/
