Hey, no Ms bashing. This is a Linux help list, lets keep it that way.
OTOH, what you say is perfectly true, I mean the fact that a large
company like MS should put in some effort into contributing towards a
stable, reliable and dependable OS. It may not be Linux, FreeBSD, it
is enough if they make something that works well, and is rock solid.
But then, they'll have to write it from scratch, coz DOS can never
give the stability of the Unices.
