What kind of programs are we talking about?
PseudoRandomDragon:
He could only be talking about games. Either that, or some special custom made company program. Just about everything I need works with Linux, except games.

Isnt there a law that says noone can have a commercial monopoly over anything. Microsoft would be considered a monopoly wouldent it? I would happily convert to Linux, but none of my favorite programs would be compatible. If linux had that compatibility issue worked out i would convert instantly!

What actually happened with splitting MS? Why did it not happen?
PseudoRandomDragon:
It didn't happen because the US government sucks. Maybe there will be a chance of it happening again if the US gov't stops sucking.

You are right about computers not making much progress in speed because of these bloated OSes. That is why I ran Win98SE for as long as I did. It crashed a shitload, but less privacy concerns involved and greater speed given my computer kept me with it. When I double click a folder, it opened immediately. Win2kPro, hah, I must wait half a second for a folder to open. Why? All the graphic shit they put in it. Faster computers every day, but being bogged down by shit I don't need.
Thank God for Mandrake. The Mandrake GUI (KDE) gets faster with new releases while Windows gets slower.
It is only going to get worse though. Man, I am just going to laugh at all the useless graphic shit they have in Long&hardHorn.
P.S.: Yeah, I turned off the graphic shit in Win2k. Still doesn't compare to 98 or KDE with the same specs.

im pretty sure theres some kind of menu where you can adjust the time between double clicking and opening a file
