Yeah probably. I heard about WSU (if that is official abbrevation), a remember some companies/sites, providing additional packages, "bash" for example, like in some kind of repository, but have'nt tried that myself though.

I heard there are also some real security improvements, like stack XOR ecrypting... randomization... something :) asking confirmation/password from user when needed higher level security access like in usual desktop Linux environment and parental control, but I guess those last two could be easily incorporated in Windows XP, if there already is'nt some piece of software that does exactly that. And yes, as I hear they finally renamed "Documents & Settings" to something more meaningful like "Users". Even such simple improvement like asking for password when needed, can greatly improve security in Windows where users are usually with root/administrator privilegies. This somehow reminds, when I started to use Linux and tried to run some IRC client as a root, I got some "warning" like: "It's stupid to run IRC client as a root" :) As for command shell, it's "dead" for a long time in the sense that it's not very much used, and Monad is announced as super-uber next generation shell with even intellisense in it. It should be interesting, at least they are starting to pay attention to that aread :) _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
