As you hopefully know by now, Microsoft was never kind enough to share their specs or source code with anyone else, so it's very difficult for anyone to emulate their OS. SOmetimes they themselves have a hard time staying compatible. But if you are willing to expend a little extra effort, you will find that you can get the same amount of work done, if not more, on a BSD system, with less crashes and without being treating like a point-and-click idiot.
