How do you define "know better"????? and what do you mean by "MS
Products"????? Why do people here use ebay when ebay has shown itself to
be irresponsible (incompetent?) when it comes to adding "features"
(which don't work), adding hoops and hurdles to people trying to use the
site, and a host of other problems? The short answer is that both
basically do the job although the way the job gets done can sometimes be
called brain-damaged and do not work for all users. I've been running
win95, first release, for quite a few years now with no crashes to speak
of. Ditto for MS Word and Excel. Define the application first, THEN
criticize. Otherwise, blanket statements such as your last sentence are
just nonsense.
