I have to say I find this thread quite interesting!
While it may be off topic, I wonder...
1)Because I have heard that it is important, I always log onto the root of
my HD before switching off. Is this necessary? What if one has several
partitions?
2)I have heard that Windows always uses caching. If the comp hangs while
data is still in the cache, then the data is lost during the reset or
reboot, which is why Windows, any version, gets buggier as it ages.
Any truth to these rumers?
