Thanks - the articles are interesting. Windows has always felt to me like the work of several teams, each in its own area. I never considered this a weakness because that's "just the way it is". However, this thread has helped me see that it could be. I'll consider taking up some linux programming when I get some free time to get a feel of the difference.
