I disagree. I think _YOU_ are doing something wrong with your Windoze.

I have to care for and feed 10 machines (eX-Pee Pro [ha, ha]) at work.
Not one of them gets by without rebooting during most updates.

I added a real modem to one of them. Not even state of the art, but one
about 4 years old. It needed a driver to make it work. Not an eX-Pee
driver; a 2K driver. The eX-Pee driver won't install.

2 have Laserjet printers on them. HP 4 as a matter of fact. They work
fine. As Laserjet III, not 4. As long as I don't need the 4 features,
that is good enough. But it's not right. Model 4 isn't new by any
stretch.

I added a CD writer to one. I can read the drive. I haven't been able to
get it to write. Yes, I installed drivers. Yes, Winders says I can write
to it, as does Nero. But I haven't even been able to successfully make a
coaster with either on that drive yet. I installed the same drive on
linux and burned ISOs and music CDs, so the drive works. And I even
wrote on one of the CDs that Nero said that it wrote on (meaning Nero
never wrote anything).

One machine drops networked drives while they're in use.

3 of them refuse to keep the permissions I set on them.

None of them allow anyone to change passwords (though this might be
because of the way our domains are structured and not the fault of
eX-Pee; we'll find that out in the next couple of weeks when our domain
structure changes).

If your claim is to be believed, I'd hang out a sign and charge people
to come and look at the machine. I haven't had a quarter of the luck on
any single machine you say you've had!
