   It is official — Netcraft is now confirming: *BSD is dying
   You don’t need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict *BSD’s future. The
   hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won’t
   be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking
   very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose
   market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

   FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core
   developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD
   developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point
   more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.

   Let’s keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

   OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many
   users of NetBSD are there? Let’s see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD
   posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about
   7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the
   volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A
   recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market.
   Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is
   consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

   Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went
   out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS.
   Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

   All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share.
   *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If
   *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD
   continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point
   in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

   Fact: *BSD is dying
