Oh, good God, PLEASE, NO! XP is already too much of a Fisher-Price, user-insulting pile of steaming crap! Don't let them make it worse!

Have you ever tried programming for Windows? Have you ever tried to wrap your head around all the special cases in half of the Windows APIs? Have you ever looked at the enormous mess of APIs that...

Irrelevant. What you're talking about (Windows program overstepping its bounds) is a fault in the program, not the kernel. When that happens in Linux, you do NOT get a kernel OOPS, and you do NOT...

Rebooting doesn't count, sorry.

What you're describing is actually a Linux advantage -- not all kernel panics (or OOPSes, actually -- the two are different) will completely hose the machine. If...

Oh, it gets even better than that. Have you read the licensing requirements for using Terminal Server? You need the following:
