What are you running? Windows 3.x? I've been using Windows 9x for years,
with whatever IE is most current, without any problems and I'm not doing
anything special. Just install and run. It is a very rare occurance that
*any* program crashes on my computer (or crashes the OS for that matter).
So are your problems Microsoft's fault or your own (or your hardware
manufacturer or their drivers? or third party software? I remember the
days when Netscape screwed up my system but I didn't bash them for it, I
just used a better browser). Why are so many people so quick to blame MS?
I think they do one hell of a job considering how much hardware is
supported "in-the-box".

What OS *doesn't* allow naive users to innocently do so many self-damaging
things? Give me *any* OS and I can find an "innocent" way to break it.

No, I'm sure Bill doesn't do tech support. Bill's job is to help drive
MS's future, not to reply to stupid "MS sucks becuase I screwed up my
computer that's running your OS" mail.
Sorry for being off-topic but I get tired of MS-bashers...
