In other words (assuming it's the former), the only way for you to really answer your question is to try out both OSs until you have enough experience that you are confident that you can answer the question yourself. -- Jim Cochrane; jtc@dimensional.com [When responding by email, include the term non-spam in the subject line to get through my spam filter.]      |

I'll have to remember that one :-) But I would compare microsoft "windows" to ice skates rather than a bike. - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't email any replies philip@paeps.cx I follow the newsgroup.

I've seen loads of examples of kids posting "bet you can't answer this" or "you'll be the best if you can answer this" type subject lines, desperate to trick another fifteen year old into writing their tech essay. And I reckon 'question of all time' is right along those lines. -- Bob |
