Doesn't XP-Home lack something important like ethernet drivers? I can't 
remember what. Anyways I'm still happy with Windows 2000.

You probably know this Richard but: Linux on the desktop has been in 
the news a lot lately - in a bad way. Red Had is abandoning the 
Home/SOHO user and going Enterprise only. And the free Redhat Linux is 
now called "Fedora" and has different distribution than the commercial 
Redhat. Redhat's CEO in an interview actually recommended MS Windows 
for Home users (instead of Lindows or Gentoo or something) . Meanwhile 
Novell bought Suse Linux. The claim to support Home/SOHO Linux but 
Novell after all is a business server company. The only major player 
claiming to support Desktop Linux now is IBM. There are lots of smaller 
Home/SOHO distributions of course. Lindows could now be considered a 
major player, I guess.

While everyone talks about Linux becoming the Desktop 
equalizer/radicalizer, meanwhile I am happy with OS X because Apple has 
done what people have been wanting for 30 years: deliver UNIX with an 
appealing, easy to use GUI. :-)
