Yea. About twice a day. More if I've eaten Chinese food which
seems to give me gas.

I bought my wife a new acer laptop with vista
pre-installed. Within a week, vista was reporting that it
was not a genuine copy and I should report to microsoft
where I purchased the software.
Well I tried to call microsoft to get the issue resolved.
Have you tried to get a real person at microsoft? Good
luck. Anyway, these are the issues that are driving people
away from microsoft.
If you would like to see if the grass is really greener
outside of Microsoft’s fence, why not give ubuntu a try.
You may be glad you did.

As RMS once said, no wonder support is so bad; it's a
monopoly. Why ever improve security? Why respect freedom as
opposed to forcefeed DRM (Vista)? Why keep XP alive if
people demand it?
True. Due to a lack of competition, there essentially have been
no improvements to Microsoft's operating system and office
software. It just works.
I still find WordPerfect 6 for Windows 3.1 and DOS version
superior to Microsoft Word. Formatting was easier, ditto with
table of contents and indexing. WP had intelligence to detect
patterns of paragraph formatting and intuitively continue them.
Quattro Pro did a better job of maintaining exterior cell
references. This is rather sad considering that WP 6 was created
some 14 or so years ago.
Microsoft Office 2007 is a dissappointment. I don't like their
user interface, reminder of Fischer Price intuitiveness and
appearance.
