OT: crappy OS's

[Dr.G]

Heh. I've never had Win2K crash on me, ever. I have, howeve,r had Linux lock
up/kernel panic/magically reboot itself/generally crash on me before,
several times.

Not that I'm saying one is better then the other. I'm just saying that one
persons exp are probably never going to be the same as anothers :)

Also, I've never ran into an older piece of software that wouldnt run on
Win2K, you might want to install all the compatability patches :) But then,
I don't know what your running..so..
