Hi
I watched that demo but failed to see any point in it. Comuputers can do all sorts of "eye" boggling things these days no matter what the operating system is. It's just a matter of programming. The Operating system is a matter of choice and what you feel comfortable with.

I use Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Ubuntu and DOS for different tasks. There are versions of the programs I use available for all the systems.

Because I never learnt the modern computer languages I do all my real computing tasks under DOS with Qbasic. It does not have much in the way of graphics but I can write filter programs, look at the code and solve engineering problems in Qbasic. These tasks are what computers are good at.

Games, Movies, Graphics etc. are essentially for entertainment (or time wasters). I suppose adding to threads in forums is also a good way to waste time.

However I would not be without my computer, games, movies and forums so I guess I am just a time waster like most other computer users.
