    Of course, some could argue that XP was done by Aggies...

    Hook 'em horns.

    On a side note, how come Aggies can't build a bonfire without killing themselves in the process.

    DOJ essentially gives up the anti-trust case and Microsoft code names the next version of Windows after a Texan word like Longhorn? Coincidence?

    I think not!

    Won't this be an MS attempt to get your PC to lock out any other OS? I can imagine some of the marketing genii at MS going on about "How to finally get all those people who run Linux in a dual boot locked into our OS". I really would not put it past them, especially in light of the fact that new PC's are sold mostly with some MS OS preinstalled

    LINUX - No apps worth shit, and a god-awful choice of GUI.

    The problem is that everytime microsoft bundles some basic software with the OS, like an internet browser for example, everyone starts yelling "Monopoly! Monopoly!".
