NO, it's BECAUSE every new version of Windows is full of hundreds of crappy
bugs, design faults and "improvements" that aren't, not because we don't
like change. Read these forums. Change is exactly what hundreds of posters
are asking for. Not change back to something familiar, but change to
something that is logical, sensible, easy to understand and works.

Vista is ten times more stable than XP was when it came out, but it is also
full of the most atrocious errors and all MS can do is what they always do -
blame the victim - it's our fault because we didn't know about this or that
undocumented feature or we must have done something not allowed to make it
malfunction. The whole problem comes from the fact that MS is the world's
biggest monopoly and can sell what they like.

If MS did monitor this list people like you Alias would never appear here
and we could all get on with help and advise for those who want just that.
