    Dont forget none of your programs will work either. I dont think Gnome too will be standard until maybe 6 months to a year from now.

    Wow, that is one of the most insightfful responses I've ever seen regarding open source and corporatism. You consistently dodged his straw men and demonstrated the fundamental difference in mindset between people who just want your money and people who want to make products that help.

    Thanks!

    I've had experiences before where an application would crash whilst in a DLL, (or a VXD but I could be wrong - it's been a long time), and then within the course of say, the next five minutes, the computer would appear to become more and more unstable

    I'm confused about your claim that your computer "appears" more unstable? If it doesn't crash, then how is it unstable?
