Well that works out nicely for you, but for many of the rest of us, M$
products are designed to solve problems we don't have, and totally fail
to address the problems we *do* have. It's designed for the drooling
masses *only*, it's absolutely not good for normal utility use by nerds.
And even where there's overlap, the design decisions tend to be poor and
the implementation even worse.

I recently installed Win98SE in the hope that it would be more reliable
for web browsing than Win98 was (on my machine, W98 was very flakey about
connecting to the net, and the video driver ignored my settings and always
ran in 640x480x16 mode), but the stupid thing has already locked up the
machine several times while sitting totally idle.
