Except that Microsoft has great OSes out concurrently with WinME, so you still had good options available from them.
Symantec's products were simply crappy all the way through. They had to purchase SyGate's product to arrive at the not-quite-so-crappy-anymore product they have today. If you're happy with Symantec, then by all means continue to use them. No one has suggested that they have a 100% failure rate, or no-one would be using them. But enough of us have been burned enough times over a sufficient period of time to choose one of the many viable alternatives on the market. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 12:22 AM, HELP_PC <[email protected]> wrote: > Is the same telling MS has crappy Oss when the last tried was Windows ME!| > > > GuidoElia > HELPPC > > -----Messaggio originale----- > Da: Steven M.
