: wow, interesting conversation...of course a comparison of operating

: there's even a discussion.

: anyway, if you have a specific use, and would lilke to dedicate the

: faster given the same hardware
:
: xp out of the box is allready "plugged in" with just about everything
: most users need, and there's some overhead because of that
:
: as far as some people mentioning "bottom posting", I am forced to do
: that...some readers, (like this one) quote invisably to the user, the
: quote is inserted by the reader when the response is posted...and they
: quote on top...then it's impossible to go back and edit
