Why would you start to plan to write a new operating system when you have
just released one without any feedback or hardware innovations?
Or are they saying they just did the 386SX on us all!
Thank goodness I won't be buying Vista!
Actually Win2K was the last MS operating system I'll buy ever. I didn't
buy the XP that came with the laptops, if I had to use an OS Id have
installed Win2K :)
I'd say in the next 2 years we'll have switched entirely to Linux on the
workstations, or perhaps by then the price of a Mac Laptop or the likes
will drop sufficiently and we'll convert to Mac once and for all. (Hope
they go BACK to Motorola chips, not that I have a thing against Intel, but
Intel don't make "Apple" chips the same way.)
