Hear hear!!

I have one Windows system out of the several dozen I operate, and that 
is only because companies who know no differently make their 
config/maintenance programs only available on that platform.

I spent about 3.5 hours tonight on Win98 trying to install a driver for 
a wireless card.  It was everything I could do to keep from throwing the 
damn thing through the window (pun intended) as I realized that an 
incorrect driver installed 2.42 eons ago, long since "removed" from the 
system, still had its .inf file squirreled away somewhere, and so there 
ensued a seemingly-infinite series of "change setup, reboot" until I 
finally figured out where the mystery driver was coming from.

I haven't had any use for Micro$oft since they stole MS-DOS from the 
people who developed DOS68 down in Texas, back in the early 80s (late 
70s?).  Their business since has consisted of nothing more than stealing 
the successful ideas of their competitors, then "embracing and extending 
" them into maddening complexity within their bloated, hyperexpensive, 
insecure, buggy excuse for an OS.

Sorry folks.  I'm easy to get set off on this topic.  One of the reasons 
I love asterisk.
