I tend to dismiss that as incompetence, but it could be style differences. > It is probably even more consistent over years - compared to the move > from Windows XP to Vista to Windows 7 to Windows 8. I can't comment on Windows systems administration. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
