I don't want to get into a holy war over this, but Windows has suffered forever with this albatross around it's neck, the concept that a single physical device is an exclusive resource for one person and only one person. It's a real straight-jacket when you are used to something more sane.
I thought they were coming around when more recent versions appeared to support multiple users. But it turned out to be a bit of a sham - one person at a time still sitting directly in front of the machine although if one person logs out, another can log in. Even with this, I don't think windows provides the same clean separations of users from each other, although I admit I don't fully understand their security model. - Don On Tue, 2008-08-05 at 10:08 -0400, Jason House wrote: > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Aug 5, 2008, at 9:45 AM, terry mcintyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > > > From: Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > >> I misunderstood Jason's email.
