I don't think that this is all microsoft's fault. I think that much of this has to do with how people run their computers. If people didn't run their windows boxes as the administrator user all the time (and installing spyware/malware ridden software like kazaa) they wouldn't get into half these problems. (Maybe with previous versions of windows they had no choice, but they do now). I don't like Microsoft because they make proprietary software, not because their proprietary software isn't good enough. For most people in most situations it's good enough. If you don't believe me look around. Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.crasseux.com
