I don't see the competition, Jack. If someone wants to put up with 
the crashes, freezes, conflicting non-integrated 
applications/drivers/software and non-intuitive menus (or lack 
thereof) of a Windows-based platform, they are welcome to it. The 
only reason I keep my Dell Latitude laptop around is for ham radio 
purposes; otherwise, I'd be using it for target practice with my GI 
.45.
