I don't wax nostalgic, I use OS/2 daily and there is no windows here, and
have yet to find a reason to use anything else so far.  For me its better
then all the other alternatives, at least to date.  And I get irritated
when people with closed minds make blanket statements that in my
experience are not completely correct.   So I guess we are even there. 
Just because windows and Linux can't thread its way out of a paper bag,
doesn't mean the concept is useless.  Just that perhaps it is not helpful
on those systems. 

Or is this list only about bashing m$ and praising *nix, and all other
alternatives aren't to be spoken of? 

Sorry if my comments gave you a bad day.
