I would guess that for folks like VMWare, the choice of their focus is
essentially determined by their customers and not by them themselves.
So if VMWare choose to focus more on Linux over FreeBSD it is simply
indicative that VMWare's customers demand Linux support more that the
FreeBSD one... Now, why is there more end-user demand for Linux than
FreeBSD? I am guessing that is exactly what John K's original post was
trying to address...
