Funny. >WSH - windows scripting host or HTA - HTML application Oh, is that the cool thing that lets all these virii slaughter your machine, yeah, that is pretty cool. Who said that was the "cool thing" about it? I just like the little colorful icons. Oh yeah, and wordpad kicks vi's butt any day of the week. =P > >Depends on the application, obviously. > >Yes, of course, if you _need_ a half-assed, completely daft, half-finished >operating system with bollocks tools, compulsory reboots, shite performance >and poor scalability as part of your application, NT is definitely the way >to go. > >I would not laud the performance/scalability/etc. of NT over UNIX, but, >yes, I >use it, and yes, it works fine for my applications. My applications? >Letting >dumb end users have a good database at a reasonable price. There are Uh, what's wrong with Linux? I'm sure you've noticed, but Linux is UNIX. Remember, the "dumb end user" definition disallows the use of this OS. =) Regardless of how easy WE think it is. Though it is cheaper.
