Oh Please!
Don't be duped by bungalo* Bill's marketing engine. He's just out shooting tigers with his elephant and gun.
If Macro$oft put anything like the effort into refining the OS as Ross Braun has his team put into refining their F1 cars, you would have a computer boot in 7 seconds, (opposed to 7 hours) go where you tell it, do what you want, and not need a internet connection. Imagine Rubens or Jenson roaring around the track with a power cable attached! That's Macro$oft! Maybe they should be called Mega$oft, there's precious little micro in that OS!
Second thoughts Mega$haft
OOPS -- I'm off topic!

I remember we once got a lowly 25MHz 32 bit Intel processor and multi-tasked it for a printer under dev.
Freed from the constraints of compatability and Gates-ware it suddenly became a fearsome number cruncher, packing and unpacking huge data arrays while driving 4 fancy piezo electric ink arrays across an A0 sheet.
Try doing that under Win-anything, Bill has an inconvenient habit of turning the interrupts off :heehee:

For a bit of fun and completely off the subject: For your amusement I present The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
Hey, Bungalow BillThis was written when Bill Gates was a mere lad in his teens, but isn't it amazing that verse 1 should be so like him??
What did you kill
Bungalow Bill? (2x)
HE WENT out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun
In case of accidents he always took his mum
He's the all American bullet-headed saxon mother's son.
All the children sing
Hey Bungalow Bill
What did you kill
Bungalow Bill? (2x)
Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise
So Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes
All the children sing
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill
Bungalow Bill? (2x)
The children asked him if to kill was not a sin
But when he looked so fierce, his mummy butted in
If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him
All the children sing
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill
Bungalow Bill? (9x) (fade out)
