   I did the first time this very topic was discussed in this forum,  =
George won't acknowledge that.  Nor will George acknowledge that = Microsft
made the effort to give him the ability to create customized = install
images himself.  Instead he just ignores anything counter to his = claim
and appears to believe that if enough time goes by the memory if = his
earlier whines will have faded.

   I agree, George is not in the same class as Joe Barr or Mike Miller.  =
I never intended to suggest he is.

  Instead of calling Geo "whining" and "lazy" you could give some
  rational reason that Microsoft does not do what Geo is requesting.  I
  could imagine that there are all sorts of potential problems in doing
  what he wants.  Frankly your attitude of late reflects rather poorly
  on your employer.  Geo is not in the same class as Barr/m.
