On one hand, something has to be done and the person has to be punished.
But on the other hand, I just don't think throwing him in prison with a bunch of REAL criminals right thing to do with him. He will more than likely leave prison a bigger criminal than he was when he went in. (and probably have problems going to the bathroom too)
I have started putting it on the computers in the small office at my job (8 out of 31 computers) and I had no problems at all.
I also installed it at home and no problems.
I also made my own "slipstreamed" windows cd and reformatted and installed that on my home computer and still no problems. It actually seems to be running just a tad faster.
I maintain a small network of 36 pc's, 2 macs, a handful of networked printers and probably about 80 other pieces of specialized equipment. All of our PC's run XP and the only problems I run into with them are related to dated hardware that is years old. (example: fan stops working and machine overheats).
The macs on the other hand give me headaches at least once every 2 weeks. There is never any explainable reason why they crash, or refuse to let anyone log in (which it won't tell you why, the logon box just vibrates). Some days they decide that they don't want to play nice with with the windows server and let their users gain access to shared folders (the next day it works again when nothing has changed). And Quark sucks too.
All of this "Macs Just Work!" is nonsense. They only work when they are not having a bad day and when they are having problems they refuse to tell you what is wrong. They are like those weird goth people that never talk to anyone else and hang out in the corner by themselves.
