HaHaHa. Yeah, that's true. In theory I guess I am anti-microsoft, but the windows 95 days are over - their products are actually pretty good these days, IMO. Plus, the 'lefty' in me thinks there should be one single, unified, totalitarian messenger product for the people

LOL...

I used to be one of MS's staunchest defenders in terms of their business practices, but back in the days of 98, 95, and ME I knew their products stunk. For me, I was just happy that most of the memory configuration problems went away and I could play my games, but the blue-screen-of-death problem would rear it's ugly head time and again. Once I got my hands on NT4, that was it. I think their products have come quite far, and IMO Win2k is the best commercial OS on the market, or should I say the NT Kernel is the best one on the market. I don't have enough experience with Linux to make a fair comparison, but IMO Linux/*IX has always been in the realm of "we're making this complex enough to keep it in the hands of the mad scientists".
