Oh, and Windows makes it *so* much easier, what with binary-only
installation programs that simply abort if they encounter an error,
Microsoft's policy of not documenting anything inside Windows, software that
does things without asking, binary configuration files that cannot be fixed by
human beings, and error messages like "Cannot start Explorer. You must
reinstall Windows. Ok?"
Oh, yes. That's *MUCH* better. /SARCASM
I'm sorry, but I find Windows to be much harder to fix when things go wrong.
Give me Linux any day. :-)
