<div>I agree in part, however if you chose to run the latest greates it seems that you will always run into bugs. In the Windoz world it doesn't seem like a good idea to run the latest OS in a business / mission critical environment. My home "workstations" run "Heron" I only have one running Ibex and a couple of Ibex's on Virtual Box. </div>
