I suspect that many "failed IT projects" are failed becuase it demands more of the end user then the previous system. Sure, allot of goverment projects failes because its poorly tought out, implmented and tested, but I feel that the end user factor is overlooked and its easy to blame the software to not "work like the old did..."
Will see much less of this as well and those we will see out in the wild wont be a serious as in the past, but anti-virus companies will of course be fast to say the opposit.
I think the spyware issue is behind us, lots of improvments have been done the last 2 years to counter this problem, Windows Vista will futher improve this and many other issues.
Unlike most here on slashdot I'm quite happy with Windows, I think it works great, provides a myriad of features and is fast and stable.
So heres to another 20 years of Windows

AOL owns ICQ as well, hopefully they could merge those two services together someway.
I doubt that New Zeeland have any problems with export restrictions, maybe if the cluster was shipped to Syria, North korea or Iran....
I find it more complete in its default installation (Opera that is), not complaning about Firefox but it tends to break plugins when its updated.
