Enough already! (was: Re: MS Laugh-In)

Ok, can we stop this? 1) It's irrelevant 2) OS-bashing does NOTHING positive. 3) It's Microsoft, not M$ or microsh*t 4) It's Windows, not winblows, windoze, etc. Windows has its useful places in the world, as do Linux, VMS, *BSD, MacOS and others. What works for you works for you. I'm currently using an NT 4 box (my main workstation) that sits alongside 20+ Mac, *BSD and Linux boxen and goes through a Linux firewall to my cablemodem. Linux has crashed on me < 5 times, mostly when I'm screwing around with code and make a stupid mistake. NT has crashed < 5 times as well. This box (A celeron 433/96/8gig) has uptimes of months, just like my Linux boxen. Oh, did I mention that this is my main dev. machine? It runs VS 6 and rarely crashes whilst running that. Can we please put an end to this childishness? Kevin Stewart
