<<would you rather run on tires that have been patched or tires in good shape without any defective flaws or road hazards.>> Thats a apples and oranges comparison. However, Ill take the best-of-the-bunch available in BF Goodrich (Windows XP). <<why would anybody treat the purchase of an os any different than tires? both items are a neccessity for most people. please elaborate.>> Easy questions require easy answers, so Ill help you out. They DONT. Thats why Windows is teated in the same way as tires; known and trusted reliability. Windows XP is a step up in security and reliability. Compared to alternatives available, its 4-6 steps up. Thanks for playing, step up to the 21C with the rest of the modern world --- europe can play catch-up, they always do. :)
