Er, my previous may merely expand on RobertM's comment, and is maybe directed more to Saijin_Naib as to missing functionality, and my comment to him is: I can't bear to put up with the ton of CRAP that comes with XP in order to have a pretty GUI bittorrent client. I'm not saying NICE GUI apps aren't possible, but the market always drives to an excess of "features" that don't increase function. For an excellent PM-GUI app, look to PMView 2000, best viewer I've come across on any OS, even though has a few points that annoy me.
And, I don't believe there's any ARGUMENT here. Sorry if that comes over in my rants against Windows.
A point I should have made is that I understand fairly well why various decisions and strategies were made in Linux and OS/2, but Windows... is pretty literally a software Frankenstein's monster, except that after the mysterious split with IBM, Crimosoft became absolutely rabid about keeping anything connected with OS/2 out of their products, and it's evident in the implementation of bizarre alternate strategies.
