Which operating system is? I mean, Linux is a wonderful example. Caldera
is easy if it detects all your hardware and gets everything right. How
often does that *not* happen? In this area Microsoft is about the same as
everyone else.
Of course, the end result once everything is right in Windows is still less
desirable than Linux by a lot, IMHO.
Take care,
Caity
