    It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

    I use Windows 2000.
    As far as I can see Win 2000 and XP are both built around the NT system and I cant see any reason to 'upgrade'.
    I prefer to stay with an OS until drivers are a problem, it seems to be the newer OS's which are full of security holes and vulnerabilities.
    I have tried Linux a couple of times but it gives me a headache.

    Windows 2000 dual boot with Mandrake Linux. The Linux disto is old now, I haven't been able to spend the time learning it. We use Macs in the office running on a main UNIX server, enough to make my head spin.

    The #1 reason there is so many bugs and security holes is because MS has the largest user base. If a cracker wants to inflict the most amount of damage or rip the most people off they will do it on a MS box, not MAC or Linux. MS problem is they don't tackle these problems as quickly (if at all) as the open source community.
