What is this group 13

Yes, those are common responses: I don't need or I can get or MS will have it RSN. I'm afraid you miss the point.

As I thought. Again the I don't need response. I've heard that for years, until MS decides something's worthy then all of a sudden, "Wow I can format a floppy while doing something else".

Not I'm not joking, it's one reason I bought the Mac. And I'm not talking about running OSs. It's a little drastic to reboot a different OS just to run a app.

You can't imagine software crashing in win? Wow!

All that's nice, but what does it have to with anything I said there, besides having to rely on third parties to keep your system going. Remember MS can't be bothered.

You have issues with COMM ports? XP just works? Maybe your fixes are so second nature you don't even notice. I have a friend who likes XP, likes using it, not dependent on it for a living as many here are, your self included. He reboots while telling me how trouble free XP is. Doesn't even notice.

Good for you. But what does that have to do with anything that I said?
