EC, thanks for the clarification on the NT stuff...I forgot about the OS/2 stuff and it does ring a bell reading that somewhere on Wikipedia.
Also, referring to one of your earlier posts that I missed, EC, it's not that I want everything free, but it's that I feel the features offered do not warrant the price. I pay to use Red Hat Enterprise 4 on my servers, and I do so without any fuss because I feel it's worth it (others may disagree, but that's their choice). It offers performance, security, the features I need along with Enterprise support and security testing on each package update. Sure Microsoft does that, too, but if you look at the numbers, Microsoft can lower their price by a lot and still make profit after paying their employees.
All that aside, if you want to know why I am such a Linux fanboi, it's because I resent the fact that Microsoft is monopolizing the indistry, inflating prices, and having too much influence on the PC consumer. And that's my $0.32
