Sorry.

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.
