Yeah, it's never ceased to amaze me how unstable M$-DO$/Windoze/MacOS are in
comparison to various Unix flavours.  What is even more interesting is given
the massive number of people who -- in a more or less uncoordinated effort
- -- are continuously developing Linux manage to get a platform that is
substantially more stable (though substantially more cryptic) than propriety
OSs.
