RE: but will it run windows?

I am much a unix person over M$, but the simple fact is Win32 serves many purposes. And it crashing all the time is a fairy tail that unix people like to tell. Yeah, it isn't as stable as unix, and most of the problems are related to software and drivers which have nothing to do with the OS.

OK, I stand corrected. Windows crashes just half of the time and if it wasn't for Windows, I'd have to explain how to actually use a computer to a far too big lot of ignorant people. It is also a marvelous, although somewhat overpriced alternative for the Sony's PS2. Hopefully, the statement above will mitigate your feelings toward us, the poor Unix geeks that use unix to provide for our everyday's bread and Dom Perignon.
