I run several machines -

- Windows: 95, 98SE, NT4 and 2000Pro,
- Unix: Solaris 8,
- Linux: SuSE 8.2 and SLES 8

Considering I have the same number of blue screens on each Windows machine as well as DLL issues, I have to admit I see no technological advances at all in any Windows platform upgrades, never mind going against *nix. The lipstick on the pig is getting glossier, though!
