Rumor has it that Stephen Castello may have mentioned these words:

If that's all it takes to stop trying linux, I'd have quit using Winders 
*long ago.*

Windows update once downloaded a video driver update (on Win2K - arguably 
the most stable Winders around) that integrated so deeply into the OS that 
it warranted a reinstall!

Despite that, this isn't a "Linux is great, Winders just sucks" post 
(Well... ok, unless it's a mail server, then that would be true ;-) -- I've 
had issues with Winders (print drivers are usually the worst), with Linux 
(wirless drivers), MS-DOS (networking drivers), setting up filesharing in 
BeOS is iffy work! Heck, I've had issues with OS-9, building boot disks can 
rather be a pain... but man-o-man, the pain is worth it! When you get a 
boot disk that automatically sets up 4 80-col term sessions, starts 
Dynacalc in one, TS-Edit in a second, Rogue in a third and a fourth for a 
shell, and was still fully booted quicker than Win2K... It's worth it. ;-)

No OS is perfect.
