Sound like you'd like a version of XP called.  Windows XP System =
Engineers.

Remember,  most of the business users using Windows XP Pro ARE "idiots".

Merging the codebase is the best thing Microsoft has done...  I remember =
trying to get Win9x machine to run stable in a business enviroment.  =
Dells, HPs, Compaqs and the likes, they'd all crash atleast 2-3 times a =
day.  It's better today than it was a few years ago, but they are legacy =
OSes now.

Well, for one thing:

Windows 95---Windows98----Windows Me---Windows XP Home
Windows NT---Windows 2000---Windows XP Pro

That doesn't make sense, and it confuses many people I'm sure.  I don't
like this whole attempt of trying to merge business OS and home OS.  XP
Pro is absolutely pathetic.  What the hell do I want with all that
stupid nonsense like movie makers and the stupid control panel and all
that.  Yeah, I know it can be set to what we're used to, but that's not
the point.  If you're going to call an OS Professional, don't make it
for idiots.  If I want all that nonsense, I'll buy an OS intended for
fun and home use.  I don't want my computer to do anything but be a
WORKSTATION.  Windows NT Workstation.  That is perfect.  NT 4 was
absolutely fabulous.  NT 5 also.  This NT 5.1 though, it doesn't matter.
We've been over all this before.
