Yeah, a broken and atrophied Vista that's been on drugs for several years and is barely "alive"

Windows ME even had trouble installing sometimes, let alone crashing whilst in the OS.

I think top 10 lists should be banned from the news section. They're only written for page hits and always god awful.

Jack Wallen was a key player in the introduction of Linux to the original TechRepublic. Beginning with Red Hat 4.2 and a mighty soap box, Jack had found his escape from Windows. It was around Red Hat 6.0 that Jack landed in the hallowed halls of TechRepublic.
