I just read an interesting article in the Toronto Star by Steve Lohr of the New York Times Service. It's a portrait of Chris Jones the Microsoft Team Leader for XP. He's 32 years old and is described as a "rising star" who previously was involved with Internet Explorer. (incidently there were over 1000 programmers working on XP). Anyway, in the article, Jones, who has worked at Micrsoft since 1989, confesses to a surprising fondness for the command line. The article ends with this statement: But Windows XP leader concedes he still has a fondness for the old DOS-style command line. "It's still the fastest way to do things." Jones said. Quite an admission from the Microsoft XP team leader! Sam Ewalt Croswell, Michigan, USA -- Arachne V1.70;rev.3, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
