[BLU] RE: [REDHAT] Dell knocks Linux off the desktop (fwd)

[se at panix.com (Scott Ehrlich)]

I believe WinME was designed for the low-end, home user, where NT/2000 is
more for the business, higher-end market.  Thus, home users will likely
not need as much security and will not tax the OS as much.  That is the
theory.
