I don’t think Windows XP is the based OS that MS has to offer... I do like Windows 2000 much more...

But I haven’t experienced any problems with either Windows 2000 or XP... They are both extremely stable, but the activation is BS.. Thank god I don’t have to activate it

I do like Linux a lot as well... Linux is by far the most stable OS if done correctly... I have had a Linux server online for over a year before I rebooted it... Now that was the longest running server I had ever had!!! Well I had some Novell that was close

I hate the feel and style of the default XP theme... That is always the first thing to go after install XP.. The XP start menu is ugly! The desktop colors are ugly! I just switch it over the Windows Classic and it works great!

I had to support a Macintosh a mainly used Macintosh office a few years ago.. Well quite a few years ago.. Pre OS X... And back then MS only had NT 3.51 and Windows 95 (not sure about 98)... Now back then Macintosh has the most stable OS.. Even though it did crash often Now that MS had resolved a lot of their problems.. I feel that Windows XP or 2000 is by far superior to the Macintosh OS in stability... I know nobody asked... Just a statement

Sadly now I have a client that I need to support with OS 9 and OS 10... crappy!

I do feel that (sadly) that MS is better for the population then Linux... Linux doesn’t really offer a decent support route (nor does MS with their OEM products ) Also Windows is a lot more compatible with older and newer hardware then Linux will ever be...
Linux is harder to use then MS.. And it doesn’t matter what flavor..
