Gene,
I think much of the jabs here are in fun. Too easy to make fun of Microsoft, especially as ME is still fresh in the mind. XP has been solid though-for me. But yes, I agree that the smaller ,"box" MS Windows are pretty stout.

Reminds me of GM's 4-6-8 nightmare. They'll do anything to sell a few more cars. Last time they had a real industry leading idea was the Model T.

I'm hoping for a real life version of minesweeper where you drive your Ford through a real minefield dodging mines.

Abort, Retry, Fail?
