Any windows user that really, genuinely thinks it's a sound and competent OS is either woefully (but probably happilly :-) unaware of the gaping wholes in the whole thing or just plain bloody minded.

I used Win for years and after toying with mac and finaly settling on linux I count myself lucky to be aware of the choice.

And that, in a nutshell is explains IE popularity, just becuase win users can choose doesn't mean they do. Check the logs, how many ie5.0's are there? Loads right... Most of the masses niether know nor care that they might even upgrade let alone change!

I don't hate microsoft. I applaud there beutiful, blatant and downright crafty and clever approach.

I just wish that the general public wern't so embarrasingly stupid.
