"Some" and "Some".

I can think of two OS projects that I use which are most definitely 
pushing barriers. Mediaportal (Windows), Zoneminder (Linux) and no doubt 
there are loads more. To a programmer the hardware is always too slow, I 
don't believe OS programmers are significantly different to MS 
programmers in that respect.
