Man, they really didn't learn jack sh** from their Vista debacle.

Only three...?? WTF...??

People would rather get a used Notebook from Apple.

And that's just my home box.

At work, I normally have about 70 ssh sessions open at a time, in addition to a browser (or two), email, VMWare, mp3 player, spreadsheet, IM client, and occasionally a word processor.  In all, I think I normally have about 150-200 processes doing stuff for me, not including system processes and stuff like a webserver, anonymous ftp server, and various other misc stuff. Thank G-d I'll never have to deal with windows except in a VM. I really can't imagine what it would be like to be constrained by the limitations of windows, even without the 3-program restriction.  When I have to watch someone attempt to do something for me from their windows box (for example, when I don't have access to the resource in question), it's painful to see what they have to go through.
