I'm not just expressing an opinion. For the past 15 months I've been
working as one of the primary support responders on Microsoft's
newsgroup microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail . (Put my name
in a Google search and you'll get about 39,000 hits in that capacity.)

True for AV. For a span of 7 years, the king antivirus solution was Symantec's

"Norton" label). Low and behold, Symante
To be fair the enterprise version has seemed to be a different beast and has
for the most part, worked OK. Our corporate office used to use mcafee but my
dept boxes are built by me.

Obviously, IT pros are NOT of one opinion on what's good and what's not.

I'd have to agree with Gary on this one. If you gave me a lifetime subscription
to McAfee, I would still never put it on any of my personal windows boxes. I've
had to fix so many boxes where mcafee was the primary problem, that I will
never use it again.

I use an SMC WSKP100 and a hacked fonera wireless router with DD-WRT when I
travel, so the local calls don't rack up a huge bill at the hotels.
The quality is low to average but it is generally usable. I use dect phones on

Sounds like you're describing Windows Vista to me.
Nobody thinks Vista is great. :)

You are totally correct. I've never seen such a crappy product that

I stand corrected! The dual 12v rail did not come about because of a mandate
from Intel engineering - but rather from the one of many asinine EU standards
pushed out this decade:

Long ago Intel required dual 12v rails for power supplies in systems based on
that unmitigated disaster called "Prescott", the thought being that a dedicated
rail for CPU and another for peripherals would ensure clean power and push
manufacturers to beef up wattage.
