Not to mention their latest mess, IE9. Took me nearly two hours to install it, being forced to do one by one W7 updates that auto-update did not know about, before it would even think about it. Once finally installed, went back HOME to Firefox.
Bull MS has a track record of releasing OS's that should've wait longer. As far a defending them I'm just stating that there hardware isn't that much buggier than other hardware. No yaz your not gonna get a rise out of me this time.
So they have their s/w in a lot of hardware out there. Let's see the next time you go to Wal-mart it's running win. Next time you fill up from that gas pump you are using win OS's in their hardware. Next time you check out at the super market guess what their hardware is running. So continue w/ you little rant against E* all you want they are not the only company that has buggy s/w in their hardware. The s/w is what makes the hardware buggy not the other way around. The equipment just does what the s/w tells it to.
