I agree with this.  This is why I keep on harping on Windows.  It has 
NOT worked properly since the 2.x days (and YES I do go back that far) 
and each version introduces more and more 'back flips' of things you 
have to do to get the job done.  I love the fact that the system has to 
be locked down so tight it squeaks to keep the 'bad guys' out.  Most of 
the systems I work with have not just one but TWO anti-virus systems.  
Every mail system in the world that touches a Windows system has to have 
anti-virus installed in case the system is infected, and so on.  The 
other thing that I love about Linux is that there is usually more than 
one way to get the job done.  Just is that the kernel developers have 
been infected with this 'got to include the kitchen sink' thinking as 
well.  Makes it hell when you have to build a custom kernel to get it be 
within the reference monitor version of things.

Anyway, let's see who sues who first....Should be interesting to see the 
hordes of lawyers going at each other.
