I think Ron stated it perfectly. I am amazed that we have as few problems as we do. Think of the complexity of the different operating systems, the networking, the millions of programs, and the millions of different pieces of hardware that we expect to operate flawlessly 100% of the time. All with 0's and 1's. Just a few years ago, all this stuff was science fiction. I'll bet there are less than 1 out of a thousand updates that go bad. That's pretty good. You hear a lot of people giving Gates all kinds of grief when something goes wrong when most of the time, there's probably user error involved as well. Another thing that makes it sound like there's more trouble than there really is....how many times have you heard someone say how well the past 20 updates have gone. When one person has a problem they start posting about it on the internet looking for the answer. We hear the bad, but seldom hear the good. I'm sure Microsoft could build a better system but would the average Joe be able to afford it? I don't know. Of course, all this is just my opinion.
