Keith, you should try OS X - stability like you wouldn't believe. And a nice bonus, I use 'Safari' - Apple's own web browser (still in beta) and so have rid myself of all MS software on my Macs. Having said that, the Mac team at MS do a very good job - IE 5.x is no slouch and I used it in preference to Netscrape or iCab or Mozilla. Th Windows SAN virus is now eating into a lot of British PCs - I filmed at Sophos (UK anti-virus company) this morning re the virus, later at PC World (like CompUSA) where they were besieged with customers carrying towers waiting in line to drop them off to be de-bugged for a few pennies short of twenty quid. While waiting to film the interviews I went over and cleaned up all the Macintosh desktops, getting rid of nonesense and setting mouse speeds and sizes to something half-decent ;-) Gotta keep the side up!
