Well said. This is exactly why I hate it when I see Linux users get off on this MS
bashing kick. They live in 2 different worlds, the everyday user and the technical
users. I personally think Gates and crew have done amazing things given the user
population that is their market.
I don't think there are many people in the Linux/Unix community, or any community for
that matter that can match what he has done. I always find it amusing when I see
people pointing at the blue screen or the bugs, but at the same time I don't see their
name on any huge software success' out there. When you can do it better, and prove it
by selling it, then you can throw stones.
Sincerely,
Jim Ryan

I actually hope it does *not*. I like that fact that it has "virtually
no applications". In actuality it has more than enough for me (a weird
person who knows how to program) to get my work done and have a lot
of fun doing it.
It bothers me somewhat that Linux may break Unix tradition and appeal
to the masses.
well, back to my rubber room...
