You know, the reason people shouldn't use Windows 9x as an embedded operating system is because when it crashes -- and god bless its heart, it's going to crash -- your appliance, be it jetliner, roller coaster harness controller, or LG Electronics Internet Refrigerator is going to need to be rebooted. And if it's a jetliner or a roller coaster, it's not such a big deal. Somebody is going to notice, Hey, we're dying here, and give it the three-finger salute. But when the chicken salad has a unhandled exception when you're at the office, there's going to be smell to pay.
Poor LG. This refrigerator wasn't even an early unit -- reader George Mantaring snapped this picture on the floor of Fry's with his Treo 600.

When it comes to Bill Gate's - Windows . . . I really am not satisfied - 'true-monopoly'! Though I am using one now!
So, I guess everything about Microsoft is somewhat - like this:

People are so quick to slate microsoft, but you'll find most (if not all) of them still actually use one of thier products.

I agree with the less virus thing, and yeah no more alt+ctrl+delete, instead you got your alt+apple+esc.
And i must be doing something wrong with my mac at work. Everyone always says they are much more stable, but mines always crashing. Internet locking up making the whole poota go slow. I really do prefer my PC... (maybe its just cos im sick of macs at work?)

Maybe your macs faulty or something...The vast majority of ppl that own or work with macs hardly experience any probs.Where with windows its impossible to find someone somewhere who hasnt experienced any probs.
