Not from my point of view.

No problems finding programs here...

This one really cracks me up. I've got a Chinon CD-Rom that doesn't even have Win95 drivers, but has very nice OS/2 drivers, and you say it's got bad h/w support.

You mean like NT, derived from OS/2 & VMS, being marketed for everything from palmtop to kitchentop to desktop to server to enterprise? I'm starting to feel like MS believes NT is a combination sports car/dumptruck.
