Ya whatever - You jump to conclusions too soon. Actually I spend about 80% of my time in C++ on NT/Win2K and about 20% Java that runs generally on Linux servers...and never much liked Unix admins. I think the longest shell script I've attempted was about 20 lines and I'm still not sure why some of the lines worked (...and was afraid to touch them)
I very much like the NT architecture for server development and am very pleased with Microsoft's development tools. I love to prove the naysayers wrong when they drone the mantra "NT has poor performance - gotta get a megabuck Unix server"
That is not to say I'm all that pleased with Microsoft's approach with XP, and I've never been comfortable with the approach of Exchange/Outlook and ActiveX components in web pages. They are a security breach just waiting to happen. My point was that they are democratizing potential security holes into the hands of people who absolutely need enlightnement and guidance.
The difference generally is that Un*x is generally installed and supported by very intelligent lifeforms, and are probably mostly behind firewalls and part of highly sophisticated systems.
Who runs Windows? What is MS target market for XP - general, clueless end users. It's like giving a gun to an infant with instructions not to shoot yourself...

It places me in Texax - no doubt the location of DirecTVDSL IPS. I'm in Georgia. Guess it got the right country.
