[Tom <1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have often found troubles with the new Windows in the first year of it's 
releaes.   They tend to act a lot like alpha releases except you have to buy 
them for a price and there is little or no support ("blame the user", "that 
error message does not exist" etc) let alone efficient means of 
bug-tracking/fixing.  Within approx the last year of official support the thing 
becomes really quite usable but it really starts to fly about the time official 
MicroSquish support ends.  Of course by then it is extremely vulnerable to 
viruses and there are many known issues but thecrucial word is "known" rather 
than "denied". I have been visiting a few offices in past few weeks and almost 
all of them have brand-new machines with Xp.  Win7 seems to be for home users; 
the type of users MicroSquish doesn't care about and doesn't mind annoying 
because they can't fight back and can be easily duped by "tech support" over an 
expensive phone call.
 
Really glad to have this space to blow off steam knowing that most of you might 
disagree with the odd comment or be able to finesse a better or more precise way 
of sayign the same thing but who understand what i mean because of having tried 
an alternative to Windows.
Regards from Tom :)
