Ha ha ha hee hee! Isn't that just the ultimate
testimony to an *operating system*??

If it only runs the ONE good program and people
don't use it much, it's almost reliable... <grin>

Where next? The M$ automobile -
Drive on the same straight road and don't change
gears, and it hardly ever crashes!

More seriously, isn't it a commonly accepted
"truth" that M$ have alway built in a deliberate
error percentage and used it to sell "upgrades"
and "improved versions" of the operating system?
I can understand that, if they made a good operating
system it gets very hard to keep selling you a new
one every year or so.
