Looking back on this thread, I confirmed my memory that it was somewhat 
on topic with the applications that keep people from dumping Windows. 
When I look around at what people are using on Windows here at work, I 
don't see any high-speed requirements. Intead I see Word, PowerPoint, 
Outlook, etc. These don't need the incremental speed increase that hand 
coded assembly gives you.
