You know, it just absolutely boggles my mind that people would actually line
up to buy an OS, of *any* kind, never mind one from MS. Why would people do
this? I'm a pretty hardcore geek, but this is beyond comprehension.
Win95 I can almost accept going out an buying, since at that time Linux was
unheard of by all but the real harcore of us, and it was a major advance over
Win3.1 (at least from a UI point of view). But Win2k, there's no real advance
there, and by now I think MS has pretty much pissed off most people.
I'd really be surprised to hear that people have lined up for this one.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
