Calum:
and i'd be well happy if you could see yr way clear, X11, to doing me a copy of this win/DOS CD you mentioned once it's finished, not sure what i can do in return, but there's bound to be something...

Also, back on topic, what with all those operating systems, the question on everybody's lips is "why?" do you use one over the other?

Master of Reality:
i have no reason for why i use these OS's, i am trying out them all, to see if i can found out why i want to use a certain one.

kind of the opposite of yer question.. but, i have found out why i dont like i windows, its slow, memory leaks, doesnt like to support my hardware (a lot worse than linux), made by a cruel monopoly, and a lot of other reasons.
