perhaps because a large number of people use Windows to do their day to
day work successfully, Windows warts and all? People select their OS and
computing environment based on many things: life cycle cost,
compatibility with other useful applications, philosophical bent, and
functionality are just a few of them.


Indeed, which is why I am using Win98 with Linux and Solaris Servers.
XP Pro is nice, but while I have heard good things about Office 2007 and
Windows 2003 Server, I have yet to hear anything positive about Vista.
