I'm pretty happy with Windows XP Professional on my IBM ThinkPad.

The only email it gets is bounced to it (using Thunderbird) from my
SCO OSR 6 system. which uses smail and mutt.

PS - My bitch with Microsoft is the Registry thingie.

     Did that come frome CP/M or where?

     When Bill Gates snoockered IBM into letting him provide the
     software for their first PC's (and to keep the ownership of
     it), that's where the problem began.
