Joe, you will also remember that OS/2 Warp was a bastardization of the Microsoft/IBM venture. After the fallout, IBM continued the development process and created Warp while Microsoft developed their own strain of "true" 32-bit OS code and developed Windows NT 3.1 (New Technology for all you young-uns ) Since that time, (by the way OS/2 which was a great OS, flopped) M$ and their marketing giants have made a fortune touting the "new and improved" 32-bit operating structure. Just a little more history behind the M$ OS juggernaut that has the head of Bill Gates.

FUD, I am also an MCSE, but to be fair, I started long ago. Did you know that MCP IDs are sequential? Most of those still around today are 7 digits (1 million+). By the way, my MCP ID is SIX digits and begins with a 3 That's right, I was in the first 400,000 certified professional from MS. When I was an actively practicing MCSE, it actually MEANT something.

....and to stay on topic, I've been using Linux OSs since Slackware 2.1. I then moved to RedHat distributions and never really looked back. I've used RedHat 5.x to 9.x and now Fedora since RedHat went enterprise and started charging for the "packaging". I love it and can't get enough!

Sorry for the long post, but I had to do SOMETHING special for my 100th post and Honemeister title....
