The thing is, you just cant group all Windows owners into that category. Also, most windows users are novices and dont know any and dont what to know anything about computing... They just want it to work. And it should. You should NOT have to endlessly tweek, remove components, edit config scripts, install programs to make windows faster, to get it working at a resonable rate.
If your comparing windows to Amiga. DONT! Windows has more features in its little finger than AmigaOS4 shall. No im not flamming. Im saying that, its a complicated peice of software, and it may not have been written or designed some people want.
also, i've been a windows users. I've tweeked it, edited stuf and its running a lot faster. Its always been stable. But the fact is, i was able to do it because i've been using computers for years. My mother is still afraid of the mouse. Computers should work. You should havnt have to configure a home computer, because thats exactly what its supposed to be... a HOME computer. Made for the HOME!!
Please be more specific in your postings. Not ALL windows users are experts and not all can tweek their system.
