"LOL - I'm not nitpicking, honest. I was just pointing out actual examples of why folks are getting sick and tired of Microsoft's operating system." 'Folks' consists of specifically who now? Nope, I consider that bashing. Peng..you have different problems and a different perspective from regular windows users who just want to run Poser. We're not dealing with servers and college kids testing their boundaries. We don't hang out with users of other os's for whom criticism of Windows is daily bread. I don't spend my time hunting down patches or worrying about intruders. I don't have to be a geek (though I tend to be one at times) to use Windows, but the knowledge I do have has helped make it simple for me and I like to pass THAT along to others.
