I won't be using it because Windows p***es me off as it is.

IIS sucks big ones dude.

Full of bugs and errors, crashes are just one part of the package. I'm going to one of the opening conferances for it on May 15th near my home town. I'd like to see what they really improved (not to mention without risking my own server).

See there are 2 groups of anti-ms

1. The ones who hate it for its price
2. The ones who do alot of heavy duty network related data change and design.

I can assuer you most of you are in #1, Filburt is in #2. I can garuntee you that Windows is a great OS. If your stupid then you will get hacked, if you don't do stupid things then its a perfect O/S. Windows does not just crash, if you running a ++++ computer, and you run 6 instances of ps7, 2 of Corel Draw, and 3 of DW and Flash, you don't blame it on Windows. Im a beta tester for Microsoft, have beta tested everything, all betas have bugs, and are there to be fixed.

On another note, I know 100% that not all of you have a valid copy of XP, Many of you have the FCKWG (or something) CD that was leaked earlier, and its a real buggy version, and you guys do not upgrade because you are afraid MS is going to track you down and kick you.

I know what I am talking about, because I work at a place with over 1000 computers, 500 running Windows XP and Windows 2000, 250 Macs, and another 250 raid servers running Linux and Windows, they all work together fine, and they put it through hell, if they can put the Windows O/S through the hell Ive seen them do, I am sure you guys can't even put 15% of what they do at home. Again this is the plus of buying your liscenses, you get that extra bit of support and valid upgrades.

Also another note, these days the people from group #1 are aged from 11-16 (majority) if you know in heart your in group #1 , please do not ever speak publically of your Anti-MS thoughts.

--------------
Now on another note, I have been beta testing Windows 2003 Server at a machine at home, and 4 servers at work havn't really got a chance to put them through some real live testing on the network, but it is holding up fine, some minor bugs to fix, and some of the administration programs need a little recoding, run into couple of errors there while managing client computers on the network.
