Not to mention file name incompatibilities. It's a great solution for what 
I use it for now which is running textpad as my editor and Netscape with a 
shell session or two on my XP workstation developing web software running 
on a nix box. But I'm also learning a line needs to be drawn between 
convenience and creating needless headaches.

I'm finding that with my 3 nix boxes too, and it's pretty amazing to me 
considering how much of a newbie I still am.

There was an article around a couple of years ago I think about some 
disgruntled MS employee who put code into W95 to make it crash after 41 
days or something.The funny part of course was how nobody interviewed could 
even imagine a 95 box staying up that long.
