Gee, we have a REAL masochist in our midst!!! Never heard of
ANYONE
getting that abortion installed and running properly in less than 3
hours.

All thirty floppy disks, then no application to run on it. However,
linux took three hours to install the package from cd, then over
night to compile.

Ed,

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-)

You're not trying to take this discussion seriously, are you?

Seriously, in using "standard" Microsoft desktop applications,
I find
bugs in normal, everyday use at the rate of one every 2 - 3
hours. My
job is results, not making excuses or buying in to somebody's
marketing
BS, and Microsoft applications do not pass muster. What's my
experience?
It includes using and developing software on windowing
(operating)
systems from about a half dozen different vendors. Been there,
done
that, not buying any -- especially from Microsoft.

Time to bail out of this thread!!

If you moved the mouse while OS/2 was thinking, you generally lost
the mouse and keyboard. I think what really killed OS/2 was windose
support, no softwear house would bother writing applications for an
operating system it will run windose badly.

I'd agree with the third party bit. Adobe products don't exit even after
using the shutdown X so I routinely use the 3 finger salute, click on the
windows taskmaster and delete the image name under processes. I find ADCD
has the same problem.

I am running Windows 2000 Pro. It is not usual to have been logged on 3,4,5
months or more as I never shut my machine off except for hardware upgrades.
Last time was when my mouse cord broke and I had to re-boot for my PS-2
mouse while I spliced the cord on my optical.

I use a hell of a lot of the functionality. Wireless networking,
hardwired
networking, card readers, scanners across the network, printers across the
network, interface to automotive ECM's and PCM's, card readers, flash
drives, interface to my weather station that maintains a website of my
local
weather, I can go on if you like..

Works OK for me. If I have problems most all the time they can be traced
back to bad third party software, drivers, or hardware.

If the third parties don't design to specs, then it ain't gonna work as
advertised.

I don't intentionally try to do things to create myself
problems.

Like, try to use the advertised functionality? or the "help" systems?
