"Because Windows was not properly shut down..."
God, I hate that. :mad:

Excuse me, Mr. Gates - but if you made an OS that restarted/shut down without hanging...you might have something.

5. And this is why I switched to Mac over a year ago
and I'd do it again 10 times over.

11. Remember when the POWER BUTTON shut down your PC?
Who's the genius that said that the SOFTWARE should determine how you turn off your machine?

Something that used to take 1 second and the flip of a switch, now takes a "START -> SHUT DOWN -> PICK_A_FREAKIN_OPTION -> CROSS YOUR FINGERS WHILE WAITING AND HOPING THAT IT ACTUALLY WILL SHUT OFF YOUR PC "

Thanks for your innovations, Mr. Gates.
