I understand that. Unfortunately people like you (and me, when I can't get out of it) end up having to fix the danged things. I guess that's part of my problem. For the last seven or so years, the only time I see a Windows machine is when I have to fix some relative's or friend's PC. I come from a technical background (phone switches) -- when you fix something (do it right) it works, or there's a logical reason it doesn't (bad board, etc.). Windows -- at least for me -- is inconsistent. I can build three exact Windows machines and have three separate problems. I'm guessing it's "logical" (in other words, corruption of some kind in the Registry) but it "feels" random. I don't have those issues with Linux installs.
