>Well, even doctors make errors. Why can't people give MSFT the same consideration. I surely don't want software to ship with bugs but it's a fact of life. Please let me know when the world is perfect.. <g>

I have been using MS software since the early 80's (day 1). I have a Universal Subscription. I think I have "bitching rights".

I'm not talking about some "subtle" bug here; if you think that it's acceptable to not even verify one's own download, then we have a difference of opinion in terms of what constitutes due care /consideration / deliberation / whatever.

I was waiting for someone to defend the status quo; I didn't expect it to be you (even though we've had differing opinions).

I'm not perfect, but I strive to be ... when it comes to other people's / my Users' time. I will never accept that delivering buggy software "is a fact of live". I've made mistakes; but MS was never on the critical path ... this puppy could have at least installed properly.

Bye.
