Further, we cannot blame software vendors for releasing buggy code when we accept the known 'features' and pay for it. I disagree. Monopoly status means the playing field is not level. The usual PC user still mostly has no choice of OS for OEM systems. You cannot blame the user for choosing a buggy OS when OEM's do not make other OS available. Do remember it is well documented the strong arm tactics MS uses the make OEM's only load MS OS. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
