As someone who has worked supporting Windows 2000 (server and professional) there is no question that it is much, much better than 98 in a number of important areas. You got to give MS their due.
As a greenie myself, though, I love the spirit of open source and find Linux to be something of a beautiful OS (if there is such a thing) and wonderfully flexible (the question usually not being "can you...?" but "how do you...?").

To be honest, when you think about it they're not far removed from most large American corporates, the US govt encourages it with their abuse of 'free trade' agreements where no one wins except corporate america and the govt. The ideals of open source are not all that different from the 'green' type views held by a lot of people. Thats a large untapped market for OSS throughout the world! if only they were computer literate ;-). jeremyb. > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: 2002/07/12 Fri AM 12:08:00 GMT+12:00 > To: CLUG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Switching from windows to linux, or was that the other way round... > > Yes, enemy ;) > Any software company hell bent on world domination and total control of > my PC/Internet experience is sure as heck an enemy to me and my > computing freeedom... especially one wielding a big ole stick the size > of M$'s... > > Cheers, > > Jason > ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal For more information please visit www.marshalsoftware.com #####################################################################################
