OT but... I agree with Juergen, Windows _used_ to be a very bad platform, but
today it is making really good progress, Windows NT was a nice move, Windows
2K and Windows XP are a big step forward they are very reliable and nice to
work with. Of course it is always a bit tricky to build Open Source softwares
on this platform (it is quite easier to use the Microsoft Compiler and
environment), but with a bit of effort it is possible to build a lot of the
nice tools we have on Unix (thanks to Cygwin).

I also agree with Jurgen that the underlying framework has changed a
lot... but if the .NET was the answer, what was the question ? A market
share, the fight with SUN and Java... what's the real value for the
enterprises ?

Pascal.
