[PV] Just hoping someone one day can hear the screams and do something about
it. :-)

[PV] I would beg everyone to stop using this blue screen thing. I personally
haven't seen one of them for years. Latest Microsoft OSs are stable enough.
You can talk about a number of issues about Windows if you will, but not
that very old story about the blue screens (most people new to windows these
days won't even know what you're talking about).

There's nothing wrong with freedom to choose, by the way. I guess I'm
talking about "freedom to confuse" (a developers "freedom", used and
abused). That's what's annoying. Remember we were talking about Joe Winuser
here. No way you'll win the guy for Linux with current desktop philosophies.
That's what's this about.
