That's just GOLD!

I work in the computer industry, so Bill's stuff ups keep me in work, BUT:

I think that there should be legislation in place like the ADFIA, whereby products have to be approved after extensive trials.

My feeling is that it will never happen, but they would never dream of selling a car or plane that is faulty and then providing a Service Pack

Spreadsheet program corrupts / crashes
Email client corrupts / crashes
Computer relies on a boot partition or sector, which, if infected, wipes the drive clean.
Browser easily hijacked
Operating system "erodes" over time, files go missing, deleted.
etc etc etc.
When installing the operating system, you need to install it on each computer connected, you cannot install it on five drives and plug each one into a computer - computer won't start because of drivers. Real pain for industry workers.
If you change your system board, you need to reinstall or repair windows.
They want you to put system repair on 15 floppies LOL.

I could go on, but it's getting boring.

There's no point going to the "other" system or the "free" system because there's not much software that works on them that people need, unless it's a hobby or graphics computer.

Wake up MS!
