OK, in a better frame of mind now than earlier (see the blog entry below), I now notice another SNAFU has finally been mentioned by those folks in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
Yup. Microsoft's admitted it kills security apps from 3rd parties.
NOW can some of you see why I delayed upgrading from Win2K to WinXP?
My next upgrade will probably be to a Unix, Linux, or similar operating system. At least then I (probably) won't have to put up with those unmitigated macroshaft (the opposite of Micro, and well, we all know how cash-hungry they are!) screwups.
And it'll be free to obtain (well, unless I get a commercial distribution, like Redhat or similar). And, by the time it comes to upgrading this machine again, heck, most of the apps I use will probably have been ported to Unix (or similar) anyhow, so whoopee for me at that time 
So, guys, what to you want to break today?

And folks wondered why I delayed so long in upgrading to XP...

XP and Vista are fortunately two very different products...Since the first upgrade XP's been fine on my machine...probably the most stable and useful Windows version there's been (and I include 98SE and 2000 in that)...
Vista I've seen and played with on my son's laptop...it's a completely different product, and in my view not yet fully developed...(to me it has that slightly unstable ME feel about it!) and as such I won't touch it...
Must admit that I share your view fully. While I have had this copy of XP fall over a couple of times, I was at those times using very RAM-Hungry applications (graphics/layout packages, DTP-related), and since this PC only possesses a half-gig installation of RAM, I'm frankly surprised that the machine hasn't fallen over more often! Next stop: Computer fair for cheap RAM :)
