Stuff like, running more than one application. If you've never had
windows lockup on you then you're lucky. I've had more trouble with
windows than any other OS as far as random lockups go. I also have weird
things happen like when I play a CD and access the other cdrom on the
scsi chain the cd in the first drive stops playing. Once in a while
applications just go out to lunch for a while and the system sorta hangs
while it does god knows what. Combine that with an interface from hell
and you have a very unhappy computer user.

I believe the federal government is asking microsoft that question too.
Up until recently (very recently) windows came with PC's. There was no
choice.

I bow down to you... I obviously dont know what I'm doing if I dont like
windows. I mean, I'd certainly never use it just because I need to
exchange information with someone and they're using a proprietary binary
to store their info. Nah, that would be a good enough reason to use
it....

I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
