I spent a few milliseconds on If you could only get work done under Unix-type systems, then anyone using Windows couldn't get any work done. Ignoring the ravings of Slashbots, that's just wrong - millions of people get their daily work done using Windows or even MS-DOS systems. Even me, for that matter - while part of my work is done inside a VMware-hosted Fedora Core, the actual laptop itself is running Windows, Word, Excel, Outlook, and various other apps that are diametrically opposite to Unix. And yes, Outlook does things that mutt doesn't and can't do which I find very useful for work. (That doesn't mean I want to run it at home!) Is that enough? Or do you have a definition of work that I missed through not really reading most of the thread? :-) The Unix way of doing things is *a* way, but it's far from the only way, and isn't even the "best" one (for whatever value of best) in all situations. Trying to argue that it is really won't help your cause much. To be honest, I'm not even really sure why this thread is still going on. It's a long thread about a patch that was committed almost 10 days ago, and wasn't really *that* important in the first place. -- Paul
