alot of people bash Windows/MS.. I run Win 2kPro and have NO PROBLEMS, no blue screens etc.  My 6yr old son uses Win 2k Pro for games and even his system runs PERFECT.  I use my system every day and leave it on 24/7..it runs without reboot for at a minimum of 2-3 months unless I install something that requires a reboot.

So if you're having a problem with windows, maybe its your hardware or a user error.

Actually for the last 2 years I've seen more people praise Microsoft. Like yourself and the posters after you. No one on here seems to bash them at all anymore.

For the record though I prefer 98SE and 2000 to XP. XP gave me nothing but problems, and just using the OS wasn't a very enjoyable experinece from me. Certainly not enjoyable compared to the Macintosh or the Amiga. As a result I migrated rather quickly from Windows to Macintosh after a mere 3 months of using XP.. and guess what.. not one problem ever after 18 months of usage. I would have had to reinstall Windows half a dosen times by now had I not migrated.. I am almost certain of that. Oh I also would have had to defrag my machine all the time just to keep it at a *fairly* reasonable speed. All I can say to my friends these days who suffer Windows problems is "those were the days"  :lol:

Microsoft bashing hardly exists anymore, because everyone thinks XP is amazing. I don't see how it is, but I am not a Microsoft-basher, I just dislike Windows plain and simply because I find it irritating to use and feel like the computer is fighting me every step of the way to make my life difficult.

I own an X-box, and I enjoy using Microsoft DOS  :-D
