yeah me too. about 3 years ago i quit a job at a company that i was at for about 2 years(maybe a bit longer). when i joined them ~5 years ago i liked MS software. by the time i quit i absoltely despied it. most of my work was R & D with embedded(more like unmanned) win9x systems. dealing with all the headaches of trying to get win9x to run in an unmanned enviornemnt just drove me insane. i had to quit before i lost it. my bosses (I had 3 direct) actually told me on several occasions to tell them a day before i come in shooting so they can take the day off. have never had problems on any unix/linux system myself that caused an actual headache to occur or make me want to throw a machine out a window like i did with win9x/NT. (my unix/linux experience goes from slackware, redhat, suse, openbsd, freebsd, solaris/x86, solaris/sparc, Tru64, AIX, HPUX, IRIX) at least none that i can remember. i hear win2000 and XP improves on some issues, but after 8 years of using MS stuff(DOS3.x -> NT4) i left and never looked back. i gave them a fair chance, i don't think they deserve another. nate
