You seem to be arguing that because FreeBSD on the desktop isn't suitable
for everyone then it must be unsuitable for everyone. Get I get the gist of
your argument correct?

To correct any fears you may have, no one here is advocating that we spend
any of your money or your time on desktop FreeBSD. No one is advocating
making FreeBSD worse as a server in order to cater to the desktop. And no
one is even advocating that we make it the top development priority.

FreeBSD doesn't have to make an either-or choice between servers and
clients. We can actually do both. This list is FreeBSD *advocacy*. There is
no advocacy in telling people to use Windows or Mac OSX instead, especially
when we're perfectly capable of meeting many people's desktop needs.
