I am one of these people. I was hard-core Microsoft
from 1986 to 1997, but after 10 months of hourly (or
more frequently) crashes, I ran headlong into the
Open [Source] arms of Linux, and have enjoyed a much
higher quality of life (and now income) for it.
LINUX ROCKS!!!

come on people you cant all hate M$ that much can you just because they invade your privacy and crash your computers and rip you off....i look at it as M$ did a good deed to the linux community by all of their bad things they have did...they make their users desperate...i mean so desperate they want an operating system that is more stable, one that gives you 100% total control over your own computer not 40% if your lucky.... one that if you dont like the default way it looks and runs you can totally rewrite it and not have to worry about any copyrighted materials or breaking any laws caus you decompile/recompile the source code.... this great desperation makes the user bodly go where no man or woman has gone before an search for better and in the final results of their search they come accross a free operating system....they say well if its free how good can it be...well to their suprise its amazingley stable and customizeable and just down right good for their needs....and wow another thing...i dont have to pay $50.00 a question or $3.00 a hour for tech support i can just go into a good irc channel or subscribe to a mailing list like this one for free..... well in closing i would like to say.... THANK YOU BILL GATES AND ALL OF YOUR WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR YOU AND MAKING ME WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You read my bio! I should have patented it! ;-) Since I must continue to use M$ platforms at work I continue to be plauged by Bill's 'Innovations'. I recently had to upgrade from Win95 SRO to Win98SE. Now I frequently get 'offset error' messages and on about 30% of them I crash. I make it a habit to reboot my workstation every morning, and then sometime around noon, and always after a crash. Figuring that It takes about 3 minutes to get back to working mode after a reboot or crash, I get the equivilent of about 30 minutes of extra breaktime everyday. That's 3 to 6K$ per year of employee costs just to reboot a flaky OS. For 500 hundred employees that is about, conservatively, $300K to $600K per year wasted employee times. The box I am own now has been on 24/day for the last 4 days. Prior to the netscape crash 4 days ago it had been up 24/7 for weeks. I remember taking it down because of a rare electrical storm in February, and before that I don't remember. Money saved, if we were using Linux at work. (We will, sooner that the Microdroids realize!)

hey jerry have you installed that proggie called 98lite heres the url http://www.98lite.net but awile back people were talking about it to help vmware run better and im using it just on my win98se hd and believe it or not it actually made my winders extremley stable...well not 100% but a hell of alot more stable than it was before...it totally uninstalls internet explorer and takes out most of the bloat from winders... and as for any memory leaks im running memturbo 1.5. and 98lite also makes those other uninstallable programs able to be uninstalled...and with memturbo you wont have to reboot unless a program you are installing or change certain settings asks you to...these two programs are a must for winders in my opinion....oh yeah and blackice defender for a firewall, the newest version will block out all nmap scans believe it or not...i tested it out with a few of my fellow linux users on the net already..and the scans returned no info whatsoever...i guess you can say its a winders version of portsentry... forgive me for actually talking good about some winders proggies but seing that i still have to use it for certain things i need it running as good as i can get it and dreading every minute of it .....
