Jay, I know it was not a fair comparison, I only used win98 as an example to the huge gap there was between the home and office version of the OS. Of course, XP is a lot more stable nowadays, but Microsoft KEEPS pulling the "server/home" trick to get more money. One example of this is: Try installing PWS or IIS on XP Home. You can't!

About Linux: we've tried to implement Linux on all of our pc stations about 6 months ago where I work, I can't go into details about it but the whole thing was a huge disaster. But you try to tell that to IBM and to that albino kid of theirs. By the way, if you ever go to the IBM headquarters, you'll notice they all bash microsoft as much as they can, but every employee has a thinkpad with windows on it.
