I don't know of any MS people who don't run XP at home; however, I do know some linux guys that run XP and 98 because they like to play games.
Well, your point, that I agree with, is made. I am not here to tout Linux. But I DO know people in Redmond who program for MS who say (I haven't checked their machines) that they won't run XP. All I can do is report.
This whole thing started when the sycophant called a true genius a moron for something that wasn't even said, and PO'd me.
