    It's gotta deserve some kind of award for being the longest-promised vaporware project of all time. 22 years and counting. But then, after all that time, who really cares any more? Sheesh, how hard can it be to write an OS kernel? I heard some kid in Finland did one a while back that works OK.

    Listen a bit less to the FUD spread my linsux advocates, and open your eyes a bit more for reality.

    Both the Win2000 and XP kernels beat Linux in stability with both hands tied behind their backs, standing on one leg singing the national anthem backwards.

    At a GUI level, it's the same while outperforming the major linsux GUIs two to one in responsiveness.

    All that in half the footprint of a pretty much standard RedHat setup.

    Windows sux? Sure, and linsux desktop users can walk through the rain without getting wet, too.
