Well, Windows is unprefferable for me just because it's so unstable and not
so powerful. But I'd say Windows 2000 with it's file system makes me glad.
It's very powerful, but still resourse-hungry that makes me not glad. And
W2000 supports DOS badly... + there are not so much drivers and programs for
W2000 and YET LESS drivers for Linux... The most of my hardware is not
supported by Mandrake. May be FreeBSD should support it?
