My son had to get a laptop for school, loaded with windows98 and a bunch of software for his school and configured for the school network. Windows 98 crashed so much (several times a day) that he installed XP pro. Works like a charm. No crashes. This is the first OS from MS he has used that hasn't crashed repeatedly. However, he couldn't get XP configured to work with the school network properly. So, he went to the computer help desk at his school and asked them for help to configure his laptop for the network. Their answer: Reinstall windows98. They couldn't offer any other solution. So, even if MS makes a decent OS, the MS support people, trained in nothing in particular, are so useless that simple problems can't get fixed without reinstalling. Of course, nothing in this post detracts from the fact that MS will take over the world, sooner or later, because idiots outnumber intelligent people at least 10:1. Guess which market MS aims at? (Of course, this assumes that XP pro CAN be configured to talk to his school network. It worked fine on my home network.)
