the problem with windows is that it assumes you are an idiot. unix, on the other hand, presumes you know what you are doing. it also does not (generally) clutter up your environment with useless user interface abstractions that always have stupid little bugs.

please don't get me started about the lunacy of windows and it's inherent design flaws.

i will say one thing tho - i am thankful for one major design flaw: the whole windows "windowing" system is so flawed that a small company called citrix systems was able to create an innovative solution that patches up those flaws enough to make a usable multi-user network windowing system.

damn - who'da thunk it?!

p.s. i'm not suggesting that X is perfect. it's big, bloated, and full of security holes. at least it's creators can boast that it is scalable, network transparent, and platform agnostic.

p.p.s. how 'bout that ctxs action today?! volume increased 10% from yesterday in pre-holiday trade when most other stocks traded very light volume and it was an up day to boot! who knows, maybe it's put in enough time at $45-$50 and is ready to move on.
