| If you know what the hell you're doing with a computer, it is incredibly rare | for anything to ever fail.
That's a bit of an overstatement, though I'd say it happens less when you know what you're about.
| If you have your computer loaded with a | bunch of idiotic junkware as indicated by the 400 icons you see in your | system tray, you should expect things to fail. Anyone can write a | program that hooks into events in Microsoft applications and causes them | to fail. This is not Microsoft's fault.
| If you've ever run a purely Microsoft machine, you'll see that it is ridiculously rare that they | fail.
Now that I'd have to disagree with, Windows, Internet Explorer and Office do crash, though admittedly less than they used to (providing you don't use any of them in a new version before service pack 2)
| I have NEVER seen any software out there that crashes less than | Microsoft's
Then you need to get out more, there are ALOT of programs out there more stable than MS products. IPCOP and qmail for two quick examples.
| and is anywhere even remotely close to being as powerful as | a comparable Microsoft application.
I'm willing to grant them the featurism crown, but I don't necessarily consider that a compliment. I feel they have way to much tendency to try and integrate everything trying to improve useability at the cost of security and stability.
