Luckily for XFree, in most cases locked-up X doesn't mean locked-up machine. Can't say that for Windows. .. > There are numerous problems with X.

I've heard about Berlin and GGI on and off for YEARS. The fact they're still moribund says plenty about how good X is. It's one thing to bellyache about X, but no one (at least until Aqua) has been able to come up with a decent alternative -- of course there's the Sun NeWS, which had DPS support too.
