I dunno. Seems to me that either 1) too many of our members are too young to remember the growing pains of various leaps in MS operating systems; or, 2) we've all just become too impatient. Little bit surprised to see an engineer prompting this poll (forgive me Paul if I misinterpret your username) because we engineers know full darn well how design is always rushed to the street regardless of how much we object. For that matter, we also know how our beta testing is more like testing in a vacuum and only indentifies the more obvious flaws in a STANDARD configuration. The real world is the REAL test and everything must undergo revision and refinement after implementation. It is an engineering rule of design (for those educated in the classical curriculum). Just to mention, imagine the level of bureaupathology (which is actually the proper term) when dealing with two giants like Dell and MS... Issues will be resolved in time, only to uncover new issues...
