OK. If you think so then start real work under Windows. Try to develop with
Visual C++ 5.0 and than say that again. If you still say this after working on
a big project with that, I think you will need psychological assitance.

>But aside from such biased issues...

Not biased. Experience. I'm programming about 16 Years on different platforms
but I never had so much troubles with an OS like Windows (NT included).

Simplae plain text ist just fine. No Font modifier, no font attribute
modifier, simplay plain ASCII will do the trick. Even MS should be capable of
doing this.
