RE: [Plug] Ya know, it's a shame..


I am not saying Microsoft's OSs are the best, but what I am trying to say is
all I hear are people saying  that their machine crashes 2-3 times a day,
and I can't figure out why.  I have never seen that happen ever, unless
someone keeps shutting down with just the power button every night instead
of properly.  And that can happen with any system.  Trust me when I am
saying that MS is not the top in my book, but I have never had or seen the
problems that the people here are having.

As one who worked as an NT Admin and still work on them.  I think I can
safely say there are some unterlying problems that M$ needs to address but
never will and it is not a matter of learning the bloat ware but just
dealing with it
