Wow, he was just asking a question, you don't have to bash him...

And, I think it's a legitimate question. Is there something design in FreeBSD that make the port difficult or something like that?

EDIT : ok, he has edited his post...

Yeah, edited before your post ;-)

Anyway, I respect companies that make make 2 clients, 3 is even better. Not too much commercial software runs on anything other than the big 3.

So, I'll just save my bashing for when someone asks "Where's the Haiku port"

Hey, where's the Haiku port? ;)

Actually, my only problem with Haiku and VirtualBox is that it doesn't run as a guest on it unless you enable the hardware virtualization features (AMD-V, etc.):

That kinda sucks :/

Apparently Haiku is "virtualization unfriendly".
