far. You can search from your Windows taskbar and so much more. It
really is very cool and has a lot of functionality...

Bah! The day that the MacOS gains enough market share to be hated by
the Linux contingent is the day I'll take scorn from Jobs'ites
seriously.

No, not necessarily. But "good" is an objective term at best. The OS
that I would trust most for mission critical work is my NetBSD box at
the office. Bullet proof!
The OS that I would trust with my grandfather? Windows 98SE.
Different tasks, different requirements... different solutions.
Although I *HAVE* threatened him with an iMac in the past. ;)

even solaris...
in short,
Mac OS == home desktop.
(trying to tell a 14 year old sister " no, you want gaim; not the AOL
Instant Messenger icon"doesnt work well..)
my g3 laptop: OSX and YDL
and finally at UMD, everything from NT4 to win2k, to solaris
and your "iBrator" link... quite old; but still good for a laugh

Any thoughts on Win XP? I just installed it this weekend and it was ran very
well. MUCHO better than ME. Just curious.

It's better than previous windblows. I can still crash it on demand.
I think they've made it to 1989-90 now.

Maybe it's time for an iBrick. Chunk of granite and a mouse attached.
Hard to screw one of those up. Or a WebTV console. Same thing,
really. :)

My parentals need Windows since they have all of these
dinky programs they buy that require it. Although my
next plan may be a Linux box running VMware and 98/ME.
So they can have a safe, solid system for surfing the
web and using e-mail w/o fear of virus attacks, while
they can still run their legacy Windows junk.
Fast CPUs and RAM are so cheap nowadays, splitting 'em
up for a VMware installation is not really an issue...

I'm running it on my workstation here at the office (XP Professional
version) and on one of my lab computers. Primarily just for testing
purposes to determine which of our apps aren't going to work well with
it. So far, so good.
Leaps and bounds ahead of Windows 9x. Not too much of an improvement
over Windows 2000 but there are still some perks that make it a
worthwile consideration.
The first thing I did was roll the GUI theme back to the Windows
Classic layout and get rid of the extremely gay Luna start menu. It's
as close as I can get it back to the Windows 2000 GUI. :)
What I would *really* like to see is some documentation on skinning
the new Luna GUI. Microsoft doesn't have anything readily accessible
on their Windows home pages or within TechNet. Or at least nothing I
have seen.

For me it would be OpenVMS. Now that is bulletproof. :)
