excellent point, hadnt thought of that line of reasoning I attribute much of it to MSFT monopoly without more open standards, or simultaneous full development by a few leading computer companies, we are left with incomplete and self-serving development by that shithole in Redmond Washington back in 1980, we had HP, IBM, DEC as the trio leaders the development was more friendly from one generation to the next backward compatibility was something to achieve, not capitalize upon with a captive customer base if not handled properly, then lost base MSFT is a fuching pig maybe much of what you refer to is independent of Microshit I doubt it, since they are omnipresent bastards personally I had to go backwards to Windows2000 from WindowsNT for software support reasons the result is tons of crappy shit I have to deal with now like resetting keyboard functions like slight changes to protocols like certain network links not working the "right" way like annoying little defaults all over the place I hear you / jim
