I think PCBSD 1.3 and DesktopBSD 1.6 will change this soon, since they
are making FreeBSD desktop ready for workstations, pcs, and laptops

Check http://www.bsdstats.org/ and see PCBSD rank now ;)

The only thing is needed to boost FreeBSD image as a desktop ready OS
is missing Flash native player.

I have filled feature request in adobe to port Flash player to FreeBSD as well.
