It merely demonstrates why lots of people stay with windows. NOT because the OS is better, but its support by *third party soft-hardware* is better. Windows itself (the OS) is worse than FreeBSD (imho). Those 3th party people are responsable for the leading role of microsoft. Not MS itself. I'm convinced (though not proven yet) that the software you mentioned above will run on FreeBSD (if ported natively to the OS) at least as good, but I guess even better, then it does on windows. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.0 +++ The Power to Serve
