    Hey, when does Windows start doing these?  Have you used a thumb 
drive on their stuff, then used it on ours? Big difference! 

    There might be spots we see as rough, but Windows is meeting us 
going the other way, getting rougher as they go.

    A similar situation exists in hardware. Once upon a time, Microsoft 
called the tune in hardware. Everything written for them. But at a tech 
center for which I contract, we find hardware that won't successfully 
run Windows, but they run Linux like crazy. And since we never throw 
code away, it all just keeps getting more and more polished.  One day, 
not so far from now, no one will be able to compete with us.

    Thanks for the link.
