of highly technically skilled developers/users.  I am becoming convinced
that Linux will never become the solution to the Microsoft problem, for
reasons the Linux community will never ever be able to admit.

That's not the Chris that I know ;) 

It is a conclusion I am reaching with great sorrow.

But I agree totally. Linux (+ apps)
grows bigger and bigger, becomes the same 'bloatware' as windows is.
What we see on the outside of our computer, the screen and printer, suggests
that it is all pretty simple and should be able to work perfect. But it
is so incredibly complicated to make it all happen. Third parties adding
hardware and drivers that have small flaws, end-users that install all
kinds of crap software. Maintaining backward-compatiblity even back to
the old dos stuff. What can you expect. The fact that it even sort of
works, is a miracle and nothing less.


Yes, this needs to be appreciated.


It would be nice if Microsoft stopped adding features and focussed on
improving reliability. In a way they are already doing this.

Well XP doesn't seem like much of an improvement over Win2k, which I hace to say actually deserves a B+ or so. That's a major compliment coming from myself.

[edit]

I'm not complaining. Many days I don't need to reboot my windows PC.
If I am going to do a lot of work in Protel, I know I will have
to reboot once or twice, often *after* closing Protel. It's not
that bad.


That would really annoy me, more even than the stoopid quirks I'm learning to live with.


Good day!
