cabal, CrossOver Office/Mac/Games is not a fork of WINE. It's a commercial product based on WINE that the company that sponsors and hosts much of WINE development develops and sells. What CrossOver Office/Mac/Games has WINE gets first because the first is just a specialized version of the latter.

>Windows Vista has permanently eroded the company's reputation among IT decision makers, and from what we've seen of Windows 7 so far, Microsoft still doesn't get it.
But as far as they have enough money ... ;-)

I have to say so far my favorite version of windows would be XP. I have never played around much with windows 2000 on any of my own systems so I never really got a chance to learn it. As for vista, I have vista home premium on my main system, and had vista home business on my laptop. I have also tried a beta version of windows 7. My wife likes vista, but I think that comes more form being a very general user. She isn't the one that has to install software, get the wireless working, or try and delete a file. this was a good one, i have had to delete files from the system...now these are files that were owned by me yet I was unable to delete them from the system. It kept telling me I needed administrative permission and I have the administrator account on the system... After using vista for over a year I have to say it is about as good as ME was, if not worse
Windows 7 started to to be a much better system then vista, or even Xp for that matter when i first installed it. After a couple of months things just started to go wrong with it. Programs would freeze, or wouldn't start up at all. I had programs uninstall on their own, files disappear, all the fun stuff. A friend has been using a RC release of Windows 7 and has said that they may have gotten things right with finally. I have yet to download the RC version, and am not sure if i will. I |

Rmember that Windows 7 is nothing more then Vista SP2 with tweaked interface, they call it a new name, but its still Vista under the hood.

True, but they did a pretty good job tweaking it IMO, it's still Windows, and I still don't care much for it. But it works much better than Vista. I haven't used it a lot (i.e. daily), but so far it looks pretty good. |

I also heard good things about Seven. I am also curios if they fixed their USB stack, for example, if you have plugged USB printer into, lets call it SLOT1 USB port, it will be detected as PRINTER1, you can print etc. If you later plug it to PORT2 USB port, it will be AGAIN detected and installed as PRINTER2, but it is treated as a new and DIFFRENT printer. If you now start printing some documents on PRINTER1 while its connected to PORT2, you can wait forever ... until you delete these printer jobs and start printing on PRINTER2 ... or reconnect your printer to PORT1. Not very mature ...

USB support was screwed right from the beginning and it seems things aren't much better in the latest versions than they were in 98SE or 2K. ![]()

I replaced it with Windows 7 Beta, works pretty well. I will need to see what the available options&pricings are for Windows 7 when it's released, I might get one for free at work. I would like the Ultimate version because you can change language very easily. This is useful at times when assisting other people with problems, I know most English/Dutch translations, but not the German, French, or whatnot. |

My vote for the most usable and stable OS Microshaft has put out is definetly Windows 2000 pro. I do like Windows 7 (Vista SP3?), but that is probably because there is not much else to like at the moment, Vista was a gong show and a half ......
But, I DO NOT use workstation OS's, the only Windoz i do run at the moment is 2003 server 64bit, always ran server, progressive evolution led me to OpenBSD, and like many down this road, I have tried MANY MANY different operating systems (for many many uses). In fact I still do use many Linux's and I have an iso of EVERY Windoz os from 98SE -> 5 versions of Windoz 7 on my FTP, and MANY other operating systems. Christ i even have a Macbook Pro (OS10.6.2) and a VM of OS 10.6.2 .... yes many a night geeking, the network beckons.
