that you are a devoted MS user. Know what you mean too, Linux can be soooo hard to get going NOT. Actualy if you are buying a new PC some Stores now sell Linpop already inside and these DO have full Audio/Video preinstalled. No problemo, actually my area is Audio driver configs in Linworld and believe me it works far far better than Microripoff.

Just one thing alone out performs Winderz by 101% - stabiblity, Linderz does not crash. The reason why it is so stable is how Ram is used. Winderz uses Ram like a pig does food, on the floor, no problem, in another hog's butt no problem - see hacking and ports - in the feed store two blocks down, no problem. Linderz is totaly different where each pig is secured in a concrete bunker with a pipe down it's neck and another out the other end.

Memory is locked into seperate Systems. Each can be a client or server to the other Systems in the machine, that is why it is so difficult to hack into a Linbox. The Admin can make everything in any or all 'Consoles' blanks if they so choose. It is also why one application can lock up the screen and you can press F2 to open the next. In that one you simply run netstat to find the Process Number of the Locked program and simply issue the Kill 'proggy no' command. This is why most Universities are now migrating to Linux - You can test to lock any application and not reboot! It not whether Winderz is at the end of the line but rather when. BTW MS cannot now jump into Linworld and rip that off like they did the MAC since they would be sued out of existence by the OPEN SOURCE community.

Buy Microsoft - hardly think so - like I already said I have MSBugware to give away - hey you need MS 32 OS?
