Well, Something bother me : if they "borrow" so much stuff to Linux and Mac OS X, why don't take the original, which has a lot more experience dealing with that ? I think it should be wise to wait a little more...

(Well, for me, I still use 'older' versions of it : DOS 7.10 (in GPL !!) and Windows 98 ; ok, that's just for playing video games since I have Debian and Mandrake LE, too... But I'd rather use WinLSD or XP pro than a brand new one, which will probably stay in a kind of unfinished state for a certain time, like some other products : look at Win98 (with the SE) and WinXP (with SP1, SP2,...))
