Don't rise to the bait, Hans : for every Windows-specific problem
mentioned on this list, there are probably ten *X-specific problems,
almost invariably caused by the fact that there are ten million
computers in the world running *X, and each and every one of
them has different libraries, different compilers, different
versions, different this, different that, different everything.
Windows is the one thing that keeps most of us sane : just laugh
when the *X guys feel so insecure that they have to launch yet
another attack :-)))
