Well, *I* had problems with them...
 whereas I didn't in the Linux environment
   ....but since it was me....that's not saying much.

Again, for me,
... unfortunately maybe,
... and considering the source...
stress testing involves more than "can the machine do it"
  and can I piddle around with it.
They way I use software, it's a broader usability issue:
   does the software make annoying hiccups 
   that interrupt my train of thought?

Anyway, I may try emacs for windows sometime.
Thanks for the suggestion.
