I dont see why everyone here hates windows. I am a linux/bsd/windows user at home and windows user at work. When I am home i use linux because it is interesting, not because it is better, because it really isnt better. When I go to work I use window because its time to get some real work done. All this talk about bsd and linux being better than windows is bullshit. I have windows 2000 and when I do anything on FreeBSD or Linux, it is always slower then when I do it on windows and now with win 2000 out, windows even has better memory management. I like linux and freebsd, but I also know that right now for the desktop and home use, windows 2000 is by far the better option. I really hope that BSD or Linux someday is better than windows and then I will use them for everything, but until then you just cant beat windows.
