No, not really taking it seriously at all. In this regard, the term YMMV is
a big, BIG, variable.

I've been selling and servicing computers for about a dozen years now.
Almost every major stability problem with Windows since 98SE has been when
they've added something else to it. Non-Windows compliant software (that's
sold as compliant) and very poorly written drives have done more to
perpetuate the idea that Windows is junk than MS could ever do themselves.

All that said, Windows is certainly not perfect and has it's limitations.
Now tell me the OS that doesn't. 8-)


I would just love to agree with you but most of the problems I have encountered
with ALL versions of Windows involved other MS products and they "attempt" to
interface with their own damn software. In my opinion, the operating system
has a big problem when it can not control errant programs and / or is so damn
complex that nobody can interface without problems. Windows fails on both
issues.
