I'll add to that that I used to think this way, too, but Mark Hammond slowly convinced me otherwise. Today I have the opinion that no matter what other people say, Windows is actually superior to *anything* I've seen in Linux or OS X, except for the networking stack and process management. COM, for example, is very cool stuff. You should see some of the stuff Mark has done that allows one to call pretty much any Python object via COM from any language that supports COM as long as the Python object has a interface declaration using 'zope.interface'. I'm still waiting to see something like COM on the Linux world. Over with the bashing, back to the topic now. -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems, LLC. http://enfoldsystems.com
