One risk inherent in MSFT is that it appears to some of us that their os line is fubar. They're very late in unifying the kernel (moving everything over to nt).

Windows 2000 is going to be buggy and slow. MSFT has relied for years on hardware advances to cover that their software never gets any faster (to the contrary it gets slower). How long can MSFT expect advances in processor/bus speeds to bail them out?

Windows 2000 appears that it will be more complex than Linux for the desktop (home) user. At the point at which MSFT's consumer OS becomes more complicated in Linux, would you consider that to be a problem? I would.

FWIW
