...and that's all Martin Christensen wrote I'm afraid
Seconded! I find stability wise Linux out strips any Windows I have used so
far (haven't tried XP yet - and to be honest not planning to). As far as
usability goes Linux is way ahead. I find Windows too restricting for my use.
Apart from a few applications I just have to use I find its interface slows me
down. I'll qualify that by saying that I am definately a techy user. Still
this is getting OT for this list - perhaps move onto user?!
