Heh, nice. ;) But please remember, Microsoft, and the typical quality of their products, is not representative of the computing world. Far, FAR from it.

Back in the day when I was still working for GM many of us took note of
the fact that we were disparaged as "rust belt industries" while the
computer weenies in the silicon valley basked in the Sun and their own
self promotion.? One of my coworkers pointed out that we had been
manufacturing computer systems for years that would faultlessly run a
vehicle for ten years and 100,000 miles. He pointed out that if we were
as great as the weenies our cars would crap out 3 or 4 times a day in
traffic, show a blue screen and tell us to reboot!

Because there are people who use their computers/laptops to play
games, and it's easy to pull that up, give the six year old the
laptop, and go about your business.

MIcrosoft's philosophy is to try to be everything to everybody at all
times (and then, one day, charge them per use).

What you're looking for, driving down the road, is a good dependable
car that does what you want and not a lot more.? A car designed by
microsoft would have a living room, recliners, game room, media room,
small kitchen, 2 baths, and a library. It would be so tall it would
fall over periodically, you'd have to stop every 10 miles and then
turn it off, run around the outside, turn it back on, and then you'd
be good for another 10 miles.? Every alternate Tuesday, you'd have the
dealer come find you and bolt on the latest accessory and remove the
ones you've been used to.
