Just for you Finray. Totally more stable than XP. Security Hot-fix's that cause black screen-o-death.
Facepalm.
The first half complained about time and money expenditure in upgrading an OS. That should be a given. Then he griped about security (even Apple has to patch holes in its OS). Then he capped off his Mac-biased Windows slam with a 'Snow Leopard is almost here' that matters not an iota to most PC users, especially ones already invested in several business workstations. The only thing that makes sense is the anti-DRM argument, but you can't throw the blame for that entirely at Microsoft.
Currently, I require WHQL video drivers to run Blu-Ray movies. I have a laptop with a year-old driver that the mfg refuses to update (whoops, I mean 'we don't know when it will be updated so stop asking'), and can't install the official NV driver because the laptop mfg blocked such actions. So in order to play some of the later games, I have to use a hacked laptop driver (which works PERFECTLY, Sony, so make it official) and keep rolling the versions back and forth whenever I want to go from Blu-Ray video to Red Faction 3 and other new games. I can think of a ton of people to blame other than Bill Gates.

This is exactly why Automatic Updates is the very first thing I disable when I install Windows."Microsoft is investigating reports that its latest release of security updates is resulting in system issues for some customers,"
All it's ever done in my eyes is fuck shit up. I constantly hear about people have issues with Windows from something an update did. Fuck your updates.
I saw a great example of this today.Iconic Irony wrote:

A guy from VMWare was demoing Fusion 3 for our team at work (I only went for the NFR copies) and when he dragged a file from his Mac desktop onto his Windows desktop - blam, black screen of death.
As you can imagine, in a room full of Apple tech support workers this was met with just a little bit of laughter....
