Francis -

I wish I did. From what I hear, the most interesting feature of this new OS is that it's "uncrashable," according to beta testers.

Comments like "faster and rock-solid stable" keep coming up, and they're talking about beta code!

What a great idea for a feature! This is the one thing I wish Microsoft would do with Windows 98 and NT 5.0. I don't need my browser integrated with my desktop. I just want my system to stop crashing.

Microsoft engineers tell me that if I want a more stable operating system I should run NT 4.0. I answer that NT 4.0 crashes less often than 95, but it still crashes.

PS: I hate to say this, but the Internet Explorer is actually a pretty good browser. At least I think so. What say you, Francis?
