And the last time I rebooted that machine was 11 months ago... I'm not anti Windows, I just think there is much better out there for free!

no your not, I do have linux and unix experiance from the servers we used to run on a local BBS. had 56 phone lines running through galacitica boxes and 5 servers. it was a total pain in the A$$.

I did get all 3 flavors of linux running good enuf to evaluate it, hence the reason I am running XP now. I decided linux is for tinkerers and kiddy hackers. I went two years on my install of XP untill a hard drive crash and ram burnout (colatterial dammage from a power supply failure ) forced me to reload a new drive. my server has been running win 2000 server for over a year with the only reboot when I moved and 2 power outages..

Linux was popular with the bill haters and the people who were against paying for software back in the day. Now you have to pay for flavors of it, but you get the source code so you can modify it. if windows gave the source code out and only charged 1/2 the amount it would be pretty close to the same idea.

BeOS was going to be the OS to rule them all but bad markiting caused it failure to catch on in the same fasion as OS2 and Beta. I think I still have a copy of BeOS5 and it is amazing, fast, stable and a multimedia lovers wet dream. to bad it didn't pick up enuf to be a main stream OS.
