Yeah, pretty much, but I think that 68% (I suspect it is a much higher figure) are not so much victims of MS but victims of their own laziness. People didn't want to stay with a non graphical OS that required config file editing even though it did boot in 10 seconds. McNeally makes fun of the couple of minutes it takes to start Windows but the system is actually doing stuff in that time, which is why you can add and take stuff away from the system and it continues to work. Sun's offerings are no better in that respect. I would like a high performing system that boots instantly and requires minimal config but they don't exist. The hibernate function in Windows 2000 is useful and I don't remember the last time I actually needed to reboot my portable. It has Win2k and currently has open Outlook, 11 instances of IE, Explorer, 4 java quote charting apps and a java quote streaming app, two open text files, StarOffice and it is playing a CD and running ICQ. It doesn't crash.
