Happy 15th Birthday Linux

An anonymous reader writes "It's 15 years already! On August 25th, 1991 Linus Torvalds submitted the famous message to comp.os.minix: 'Hello everybody out there using minix — I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things)' Happy Birthday Linux!"

" Over here on XP I've had no crashes in 5 years and support for all the software and hardware I actually want to use."

I get nasty bluescreens once or twice a week. Not only that, they are the type of bluescreen that automatically tries to fill all available disk space with a memory dump unless I hit the "power off" button real quick. Hardware support? Not bad, but I did recently get a printer that had drivers for 98 but did not work with XP. I find those every once in a while.
