I'm afraid that in the minds of our resident trolls, these things
don't add up to anything. It's interesting to consider that in the
days of Windows ME, the last /really disastrous/ operating system from
Microsoft, there was always the option of sticking with Win98SE or moving
to WinNT5/2k; this time around, however, there are no other options.
Microsoft has managed to make NT into the same kind of mess it made DOS
with a GUI shell into, and it's done it really quickly, too.
You need a very specific kind of blindness in order to be able to avoid
seeing that.
