Not that I was able to see.
I guess Intel does not give a shit about non-profit groups. Linux got this
attention because there are a lot of players making money from it, players that
surely have some sort of partnership with Intel.
Around 2003, when I was still in college, I went to a IBM talk about Linux and
asked the speaker why IBM chose Linux for their products instead of any of the
*BSD available. The answer was "our customers are not asking for our
applications on *BSD, but on Linux".
The irony is that *BSD has a lot of importance on the ecosystem, heck, even
some products (MS Windows, MacOSX) borrowed code from *BSD projects.

Were the BSDs given advanced notice of this like MS, Apple, and Linux...?
