Guest --

The relegation you describe has never happened.

Those who know both platforms well usually concede the Mac's superiority as a platform, but have had problems with the OS in earlier versions. That distinction is long past.

Plug and Play just happened to be something Windows could never quite catch up with -- to this day, the Intel community has ten times the heartaches in peripheral management., although I concede that Win2K seems to handle it much better than any of its predecessors.

Keep on catching up, guys -- you'll get there some day , and then we'll have to argue about UNIX commands!
