I would estimate that M$ have cost me 3 days of lost productivity just over the last week with having to reinstall and then another 2 hours this morning trying to debug this fscking problem.
You better believe I will be buying a Mac next time around.
Yet another disatisfied MS customer. I know for a long time that MS have been up against the firing line, after all they are the dominant player in the market with limited (despite all the fuss about Linux and Macs) competition. The recent viruses with the obvious focus on MSBlaster, have done them no favours. I know that ntl's technical call centre has been in melt down with customers who were not aware of needing to patch their computer (or Firewalls or Anitvirus software for that matter).
While I understand the reent change in approach at MS to focus on secuirty, it does feel too little too late. I wonder whether future products will start to address this public concern properly?

RH is a good alternative too (for starters). Explore your options.
