I must have become a grumpy old fart, but I repeat that it's unbelievable that people compliment Microsoft with XP - both versions. Not that XP is *bad*, but because it seems that only after more than *six* years Microsoft finally meets the promises made when releasing Win95, Win98 and WinMe. During that six years they forced me to buy a few of their semi-OS's using highly dubious selling practices hardly any company would be allowed, and they left me with void promised about "better, easier and faster" and hundreds, mayby thousands of hours busy to repair their sloppy work. I would say instead: "Finally Microsoft has *seemed* to come up with an OS that *seems* to work for both professional and home users and meet their own PR-slogans. It was about time." Thank goodness my car manufacturer has more responsibility concerning the claims they make. "So his airbag didn't work? Well, sad, but hey, we told him not to install a radio/cd player other than the one we sell. And that bumper sticker - well - with that he lost his guarantee anyhow. Not Renault compatible, huh. Sad, he's dead now, but not our responsibility. Limited warranty. He could have returned the car in 90 days." Hmmm, grumpy old fart, right. J.
