Yahoo and FreeBSD (1997)
It's interesting that because the OS was ahead in one key area, probably only for a couple of years, they spent 18 years using it.

That's why Apple chose FreeBSD to base OSX off and Juniper chose it for JunOS, because of something 18 years ago...
Or maybe BSD has maintained its technical superiority in some areas for some users.

Actually, those choices were for licensing, not necessarily technical superiority, but nevertheless FreeBSD does maintain technical superiority in some areas and falls behind in a few others. It still has a great firewall, for instance.
