I'd add "...or who didn't want to waste time on diddling around with

That was certainly the case with Windows 3x through 98a, but is a thing
of
the past now.

Care to come sort out all the problems we what a month back with
Windows Server 2003. Sorry I help admin 40+ servers and all that was
listed continues to be a problem plus all the security holes. Which I
don't have with OS-X or Linux.


Damn, I read the whole thread and didn't realize we were talking about 40+
server configurations. I thought it was about computers for personal use.
Speaking from this user's history, anyway, the problems listed are in the
past. Every now and then, when I rebuild a system and load the OS,
something goes wrong and the system is unstable. I usually catch it before
I've gone to the trouble of personalizing the setup, and then I simply
reinstall the OS. I've tried different installs of Linux, and I liked it
ok, but didn't care for Wine, or the Photoshop alternative if you can't get
it to perform in Wine, Gimp. And as I upgrade inexpensively by swapping out
motherboards and CPUs, I'm unwilling to plonk several thousand down on a Mac
I won't be able to upgrade in the same fashion, and for which I'd have to bu
y all new software. So, I'm not putting either system down, I'm just
saying, from my somewhat extensive, albeit personal and not professional,
computer and home networking experience, windows XP is very stable, and with
Kaspersky Antivirus and an inexpensive but fully configurable firewall, is
very secure.
