Taking care of the grandson at my daughter's today... means I have to sign in using Windows. :P

Yuk!

I'll take the taking care of the grandson, though... :mrgreen:

Well, I do have to give it credit for one thing I guess. It did get me signed in here while I was over there today.

8 hours of Windows I'm off for now. :P At least, I think that's how long she's working for today, not sure.

You inspired me so I am now in Windows too. Windows 7 Ultimate to be specific. It reminds me of KDE - I think it has some potential. If they Keep this up, Windows might be the next big thing. Mind you, they have a long way to go to fill the KDE shoe. And even further with Gnome.
I tell you this small group of enthusiasts in Redmond has potential! Tough market though: Linux is dominating the supercomputers and the small gadget Market like cell phones etc. So there is only a small place left for them in between. :tux5:

I do have to admit, that I quite enjoyed Windows 7 Pro on my last job, a bunch.

However, this is Vista... *gag*

Puh back from Win - I did a Virus scan with Avira and it found 21 viruses. Some of them in Commercial software like Coffecup so I guess they where false positives. But how can you tell? Boy that OS has a long way to go before anyone can trust it.
