Never understood why anyone would use Windows for real work anyway.
The thing that it does best is waiting ever faster for the next
keypress from the user.

Perhaps people use Windows because the software they wish to run is
only available for Windows? I know that two reasons I develop for
Windows are that my customers want Windows software, and I don't need
to create half a dozen different versions for the variants of
UNIX-style OSes which are out there. But I also use FreeBSD and
Apple's IOS where they are more appropriate.
Look at how x-platform OSS software can be without much hassle.
Best organised example : Debian imho.
Getting no traction cross distribution but on the same CPU family
is nearly 100% attributable to not understood dependency and build
processes.
Same with all the display and usability problems Adobe has on linux.
Big mouth and a long list of what linux lacks. But OSS software
invariably
does not have the issues while not lacking in performance either.
Oh, and for many people, their interaction with Windows is not mainly
via the keyboard.
you mean they only do "click and drool" ;-)

Uwe, I will not discuss this further with you as it's veering off-topic
here. Suffice it to say I am happy to live and let live, and take
advantage of the best features of each OS I use without feeling the need
to insult others who may have different needs.
I will say a very big THANK YOU to those who have ported NTP to the
different operating systems, and spent a lot of their own time working
round the differing challenges this provides. For my own part, I have
done quite a bit of testing, provided tools to help monitor and manage
NTP, and published my findings to help others.
Cheers,
David
