Hey Group;

I am trying to convert some people to Linux.  As a person that has not
used Windows in over eight years I am not certain of the current
limitations of Windows when compared to Linux.

I know of its basic headaches like crash, poor memory usage, lack of
reasonable security, virus problems and license cost.  I hear most often
concerns about linux - "lack of help".  I normally reply with "When was
the last time you emailed Bill Gates and got a answer?  I have emailed
an heard from just about any Linux software maintainer I have ever
emailed in less than a day".

However, I am in need of some of you that use or used Windows and know
of its less obvious problems to add to my "Linux Benefits" list.

If possible seperate into versions - 9x, ME, XP, NT/2K and their Sever
systems.  (Not to mention Microsoft "Services for UNIX 3.0").

Unless it is like yesterdays "Swiss cheese" security flaw.
