Instead of wiggling windows, can they just make the damn thing stop crashing? Just use Linux and build up on that or something.

I've tried to make my 4 XP systems crash. It's quite stable. I regularly unplug my laptop from our lan, take it to a meeting (still running), plug it into a lan connection and continue working like nothing happened.

I run it on multiple LANs seamlessly.

I thought I had a major XP crash, and was cursing MS. It turned out to be a fatal disk problem.

Something interesting is going on with Novell on that front. Novell's been making more and more of its services run on other platforms, like Windows and Linux. Novell recently announced that NetWare 7 will offer all of its services to be run either on a NetWare core OS, or directly on top of Linux!

Of course, now it looks like SCO (the owner of UNIX) is throwing a major monkey wrench into the works, where they contend that Linux actually has entire blocks of UNIX source code in it, and is threatening corporate Linux users with cease and desist orders! This could get really ugly. Just think about how many "devices" are using Linux as their core OS... Just about every CD-ROM tower or NAS. Many of the better known network security appliances. TIVO, and just about any other cable or satelite HD recording device, and I'm sure that the list will just go on and on...
