I'd like to personally physicaly assault every one of those overpaid geeks at Microsoft for producing this crappy operating system that has become the world standard. If the stuff I design for a living was this unreliable I'd be out of a job tomorrow. But we've come to expect that our computers will malfunction regularly because of "garbage in" and we not only accept it, we buy it again with the next new computer.
My brother recently quit his job at Microsoft for very much this reason. He is convinced that they will never change. He has a great deal of admiration for Apple and may very well end up there. In the world of Microsoft the K.I.S.S. principle is ignored, even ridiculed. Each programmer likes to fill the software with mostly unneeded "cool features" that appeal to a very few people just because they can. It's like they get paid piecework for writing code. The end result is an operating system bloated with features that you and I will never use, excess baggage that malfuntions and crashes the system. It really doesn't matter which version of windows you use, it's all crap.

Go spend some of that Evil Genius cash on a Mac. They are damn nice, but need to come down in price. They will never take over until the price comes down.
