Oh hell no... your not getting away with besmirching that type with THAT brush!!! Bill Gates is untypable except as an ass.

(See.. now no one get's hurt)


Still reading through the Windows 7 blog makes me think this competition may yet bring out the best in MS, whatever that turns out to be.

In addition, I'm constantly messing around with things on my machines, and inevtiably, at some point, something breaks. (That doesn't happen very often anymore, when I first got into computers 8 years ago it did.) Plus, I don't keep any data on the partition the OS is on, so it isn't a big deal.
Well I only keep reinstalling cause I tinker.. too many optimisation programs and small tweaks..

Oh and I'm only on 10 years since my first PC. I still break them as often (if not more) it's just I know more about fixing them now
