Dave,

I've spent over 30 years working with computers. I've run Slackware since version 1.something. Today I have boxes with version 9, 12 and 13 (x64). If everything I need to run was available (or even buildable from source) on Linux there would be no Windows on any of my computers.

At work it's AIX, HPUX, Linux (RHE), Solaris, and Windows (everything from NT4 onwards).

Windows causes more grief than the rest put together.

Andrew
