"Here we are at the moment of truth for the FreeBSD operating system - the 7.0 release. This is what FreeBSD users and developers have been waiting for ever since the dark days of the 5.X series when the promises of superior performance, threading, and stability fell flat. Though each release in the FreeBSD 6.X series improved markedly in quality and performance, 7.0 has been widely anticipated as the release that FreeBSD fans can have confidence in. I wish I could say that FreeBSD 7.0 lived up to the hype."

What a wasteful and stupid review. The guy is wrong on so many accounts it is not even funny. Obviously, the guy is a Linux user who tried BSD and did not like the fact that it was different. I was going to go one by one, shooting down each of the rants, but then I figured why bother. The guy claims to be writing a review but I do not see a review... just a long, amateurish rant. The guy is just trying to get attention by trashing a great, sleek OS that just happens to be out of his intelligence level.
Here is some honestly good advice for everyone out there trying to write a review:
1) Define the scope of your review
2) Compare product to previous versions
3) Compare product to other stuff on the market
4) Focus comparison on important stuff like manageability, security updates, upgrading, performance, scalability, ease-of-use, etc.
5) Don't bother to review something you are obviously not an expert in. Last thing anyone wants is someone's opinion on something they are relatively clueless in.
