Your site was always eclectic.
Oh, it is worse than just Windows, Kryten – the Diebold crap used Access and VBA. I worked with a non-profit that used that mix for membership and even with constant maintenance it would crash at odd moments for no discernible reason. Try doing data entry with a DBMS that forgets it has defaults and constants after a half hour.
The largest drawback of OOP is that you have to have thoroughly debugged objects. Nothing MS produces is thoroughly debugged.
XP has problems, but it is a hell of lot more consistent than anything they have produced since.

Kinda OT! 😉 I was busy researching the forthcoming release of ‘Windows 7’ for a company the past couple days. Did you know there will be *20* versions???! Just to ensure everyone is confused… Way to go M$! LOL It will include one that will be used (and is being tested already) on e-voting machines (from guess which voting machine companies?) 😉 LOL Apparently, it was hacked in 2 minutes. LOL
More info, and a laugh, here:
Microsoft announces 20 editions of Windows 7!
PS: Ummm… just in case… yes, it’s a joke! 😉 I was bored. LOL
However, the part about it being used in new eVoting machines, and it being easily hacked, are not a joke. There was a test of machines done in 2007 that confirmed that they used M$ OS and they were highly vulnerable.

They still use M$.
Good luck in November. 🙂
