It's more than freeware companies that don't support their buggy products well, it's the ones charging huge corporate liscense fees, as anybody in development can tell you. I agree that NT is very buggy, we have lots of problems with it ourselves. Memory leaks is the main issue, and I don't believe there is a patch or a quick fix for it. Servers require frequent re-boots to reclaim tied up memory. But I think these types of problems are going to occur with any software with this degree of complexity of functionality. Maybe it would be better to go to more of a shell type of OS, I don't know. I give up and throw in the towel on this whole Microsoft issue. I still feel our government is wrong, but the damage has been done. I feel that the anti-Microsoft crowd is dogmatic to the point that they no longer have a reasonable perspective and argue everything against MSFT. I'll say I know what's right is right, and the judge and Klein are not in the right here, they could have just softened MSFT's business practices, but they are certainly attempting to go too far here. P.S. Most news accounts I'm reading are getting the story all wrong, going for the headlines, and missing the important and relevant issues.
