Once I was told that XP also took adventage of some BSD code.
Well, it makes a good trivia question.
The Windows NT TCP/IP network stack had components that were originally
based on BSD code. But the OS itself? No, not that I've ever seen.

The real problem is not the main part of Vista. The problem is that they did
not make it backward compatible, especially for the sound interface.
Everything else works fairly well. I am glad they came out with the

Multipsk has been updated to look for either the old sound driver for XP

Consider the Tigertronics SignaLink USB - it's an external soundcard and

Not to nit-pick, but for the sake of clarity: Data Execution Prevention

MS has *always* lagged behind Unix, Linux, BSD, and Apple

NT/2000 was a desperate attempt by MS to stem the bleeding
