So just out of curiosity do you see any irony at all in the preceding
paragraphs?  I'm (mostly) happy with my linux workstation but I can't
deny it's taken a lot more of my time than setting up a windows one
would've done.  I don't normally agree with Nick Miller but this article
didn't seem too far off the mark, except of course where he thinks M$
bundling some applications with the latest windows means they've
"embedded" them into the OS.  Why the West can't afford to hire a
technology writer who actually knows anything about technology is beyond
me. 

Regards,
Steve
