QNX, a real-time variant of Linux, Windows CE, Windows Embedded, LynxOS, etc. There's too much background junk going on in a consumer OS today. Yesterday, I was running a CNC plasma cutter that's controlled by Windows XP. This is a machine that moves around a plasma torch that cuts thick steel plate. A "New Java update is available" window popped up while I was working. Not good. John Nagle

You can blame that one on Sun (or Oracle nowadays). Good example though. -- John Bokma j3b Hacking & Hiking in Mexico - http://johnbokma.com/ http://castleamber.com/ - Perl & Python Development

Not good. <Clippy> Hi, it looks like you're attempting to cut something with a plasma torch. Would you like help?
