Sorry, I just have to get this off my chest:

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
hee hee hee

ho ho ho  ... 

stop, i'll pee


okay, anyway:

DOS is a program loader for the most part ... its not ment to be a full-blown
OS, and it doesn't do a damn good job of it IMHO

Windows is a program loader with pretty pictures.  Agreed the standard user
interface makes it much easier to figure out programs ... but once you leanr
the program it can actually slow you down.

Haven't played with NT too much, but the copy my friend got off his CD-ROM
ate itself several times.

They all have advantages and drawbacks ... but just off hand i can tell you 
i wouldn't have gotten my job this summer if i hadn't had all my UNIX
experience.  Not matter what the future direction may be i'm personally 
happy sticking with the system that I find most powerful NOW.

Si'des ... from my work at Bellcore, i can't picture telephone service nodes
running under windows (god, that's a scary thought).
