    "with Windows 2000, PCs will be as reliable as large systems."

    That didn't turn out to be true. Also, I was lucky enough to run SuSE Linux (7?) side by side with Windows 2000 on identical hardware. Linux was tangibly faster and more reliable.

    Attributing magical properties to XML should also make your head spin.
