Sorry to disappoint you Hall, but I have used windows since the first
release of 95, and still have to use it regularly. Up until about 2
weeks ago I had to have NT, then 2k on my machine at work.
Fortunately for me I now have Debian running on it. The labs at
school I spend almost all day in are win2k, but have X-Win32 on them
and there is a RH machine to log in to remotely. Also my dad's 2
machines are win95 and win98 and my brother's machine is winme and I
must deal with them in the LAN set up and when they ask for tech
support. Even with all of this MS experience (rather because of it) I
strongly dislike MS products and like Linux (even other unices) much
better. You won't find me bashing Solaris, AIX, or IRIX, etc, because
I haven't used/admined them enough to know whether they are good or
bad. I do know that I dislike some of the options (or lack thereof)
of Sun tools when compared to GNU tools, but I don't bash products I
am not familiar enough with.
