   Are you changing the topic because you are unable to reply on topic?

   I have no knowledge of your problems.  I don't have them myself and =
no one else I know has ever mentioned this to me.  If you change = settings
so that stuff doesn't work, do you ever question whether you = are wrong to
change something you don't understand?

  Rich,

   Live and learn Rich, live an learn. You've been exposed to it =
so long you are immune, I'm still fighting with stupid things like I =
can't use windows update unless the fucking automatic update service is =
set to automatic startup, even manual startup and started isn't enough. =
Why is that Rich? Why is the service running simply not enough but =
instead it has to be set to autostart before I'm allowed to use WU? =
Doesn't microsoft believe I'm intelligent enough to manage my own damn =
computers?

  I find this in W2K, Windows XP drips with this attitude, Vista takes =
it to a whole new level.

       This is so clearly bullshit that I feel compelled to call you on =
it.  You do of course realize that all the folks working on this stuff =
use computers day in and day out and in many cases are far more expert =
and familiar than you.  You whine and whine about how much you hate the =
idea that computers should be helpful and how it is too much of a burden =
for you to customize the UI to your preferences.  Do you realize how =
shrill you sound?

       Speaking for myself, I use computers for what often feels more =
than 24 hours a day.  Daily I use Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, =
Windows Vista, and Windows Server "Longhorn".  For the server
products I = change the UI to match the client UI, the opposite of what you
seem to = think those in the know would do.  I don't experience any of the
= confusion you claim to feel when using the computer.
