It never ceases to amaze me. There are those that whine that MS is too good and has unfair advantages and start talking about anti-trust laws. Then there are those that simply say MS Sucks, but use MS products anyway. If the MS hater's club really hates MS products so much, then why don't they simply not use them. Is someone putting a gun to their heads? Other OS's and Applications are available so I fail to understand what all the bitching is about. I guess some people just aren't happy unless they have something to bitch about huh? -- Robert murp...@vvm.com aka "Gonzo" on Kali http://www.vvm.com/~murphree John Westerdale <wes...@nji.com> wrote in article <E4y19...@nonexistent.com>...

Why would he/they ever write a good O.S.They would be outa business? They just want to fix barely fast enough to appear to be progressive. The multitude of most MS o.s's are more like applications, O.S. functions are largely hidden by obfuscative GUI's and 'internal' settings.... just my H.O. If you want a good (and rational) os, have linux ported to it!!! ? ---------------------------------------------------------- +How Can I Do Today, When I Havent Planned for yesterday?+ = John Westerdale - aka wes...@nji.com, @various.places = ========================================================== ----------
