Yes, there seems to be a lot of people who have a visceral hatred for Microsoft and Windows. They are even willing to "shed blood" to avoid Windows. But why? Windows works and you don't have to become a systems programmer. Furthermore, I think that Steven Wolfram uses some version of Windows. So guess which system Mathematica will be best tuned up for? I have no problems with Mathematica and Windows on my single computer. There may be reasons for using a non-Microsoft operating system. But if you are going to do it, make certain that they are good reasons.

The BEST thing we've heard was somebody's opinion that it might be worthwhile to run a Kernel on Linux (but not the FrontEnd). That's more than enough bad news to talk me out of switching to Linux. I had been really considering it. Bobby
