I think that you are missing the big picture... Couldn't agree with ztirffritz more!
...AND the safety RESTORE feature is great. This gives me the impression you have had to use this 'feature' more than once. Really sad commentary that an OS developer has gone this route in an attempt to correct what is, in reality, a defect in their product.
Using a M$ OS is a crap shoot at best. You're purchasing a product from a company that makes NO HARDWARE PLATFORM to run it on. They do not write the code for the BIOS or most of the supporting hardware. Yet, M$ seems to take the attitude that 'we'll write this code, the hardware will just have to catch up'! Might explain why Windows still contains base hardware modules written in 8-bit assembler code.
Linux and other open source projects, not driven by greed but by innovation, have continously proven M$ wrong. A perfect example is nVidia's "Unified Linux Driver" package.
And Sam, your experience counts about 1 in how ever many million. - MacArtist
Sadly, it's probably over a 100 million. Like lemmings to the sea. ::o
If anything, Apple (& others) need a stronger message in their advertising. Of course, if M$'s stock price keeps plunging, it may not be necessary! http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/ccti...tstory.jsp
