Windows XP -- Hammer, don't hurt him

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Windows XP works. And works well. All the stuff I'm doing with Linux is really fun, and it's a different, viable way to get stuff done on computers, but at many levels, you can have a very good computing experience with XP.

Windows has truly gotten better with each successive release, from 3.1 to 95 to 98, 2000 and XP. I can't vouch for ME, NT (although I do have a disc for it) or even Vista, but Microsoft seems to know just how much to bring to the table to push their OS forward.

I do the lion's share of work in Windows, a little bit on OS X, and now a little on Linux. Each has its merits, and demerits, for that matter. And the right tool for the job isn't always the same tool. So that's where my interest lies -- in matching up tool with job while having fun and ... yes ... getting stuff done.

See ya.
