Based on Thinkpad compatibility, it's a stronger desktop OS than FreeBSD. I'm rooting for them.

I too would like to see OpenBSD succeed on the desktop, but according to this blog post they some serious performance issues that need resolving first: http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/firefox-vs-rthreads

That's pretty much ongoing work. Mostly affecting Firefox in the browser front. Try -current with Chromium I don't feel a difference compared to GNU/Linux.
