Sorry if this is getting off-topic, but I can't stress enough
how much i actually prefer NT. The RAM requirements are a
necessary tradeoff for the stability, Linux doesn't have to be
compatible with lots of legacy stuff (still waiting for WINE)
so they could write it from scratch (and OS/2 Win16 compatibility 
is too slow for me).

I don't think one should keep people in the dark about it 
though, and the RAM in at least my local store is already
getting more expensive so it might be a good idea to get
a high-performance OS right away.

Anyone replying should maybe take this off the list and
Cc: to some advocacy newsgroups. I just don't want people
to believe that I think NT is bad in any way, it just
might not be affordable to everyone (like a Ferrari). And
the more users it gets the more compatibility it will have,
not an OS fault either.
