Misinterpreted. I think that is about the best word around to describe the reactions to my previous article. Whether it has been misinterpreted due to people only reading what they want to read, due to an unclear choice of words on my behalf, or other factors, I am going to try it again. I will try to explain my position, again. Now, more stable, the code has been rewritten from scratch!

I agree with the author, every OS has its flaws. Now whether those flaws cause you not to use an OS for certain things is personal preference.
Every OS has flaws. Windows has them, Linux does, BSD does, MacOS does, OS/2 does, BeOS does, etc, etc...
There's always going to be issues with every operating system, but that doesn't mean that people shouldn't use them. We should use what works best for us and the situation we want to use it in.
Like Windows... I know I don't agree with Microsoft business practices at all, I hate Microsoft, I dislike Gates as well, but I use Windows here.
I also use Linux and OS/2 on a daily basis. and I've played with quite a few other operating systems.
All of them have "issues" which drive me crazy sometimes. But that doesn't make them bad operating systems.
I take a neutral position when it comes to operating systems and platforms. It does do any good to argue about the subject.
I think the author was right... Windows isn't hell nor is Linux bliss.
Every OS I've used seems to be a combination of both hell and bliss.
There's always going to be "issues".
