Then of course, there is the fun of uninstalling Windows software. Hmm, editing the registry to get rid of crap left by botched uninstalls - now _that's_ what I call user-friendly! ;-)
Robin, you are evil and wicked, do you know that? :-)
Windows uninstalls everything properly, never ever leaves unresolved references in the registry, would never whack a shared file needed by other programs and certainly wouldn't fsck the existing settings. :-)
And Micro$oft would never ever issue a bug fix that makes matters worse, breaks installations and leaves end users scratching their head as to why a perfectly serviceable computer, by Windows standards, suddenly doesn't wanna work. :-)
C'mon! Read all the "independant" reseach on Microsoft's web sites about how this only ever happens in Linux!!!

PS: I'm sooooo proud of myself DIdn't say winblows, winsucks or other pegroative even once. :-)
Win$uxs
but it is my prerogative to use a pejorative, as I like to call it winblows
I just write "Windows", since that's the most pejorative word I know; "blows", "sucks" etc. are pretty mild by comparison.
